    Great capture!

    "W.R. & S." is 1903+ ? (I can never remember). The tower has been renovated since, and Cromwell's damage repaired. I can't find when. Mr French has a reverse view with iron railings, presumably after Mr Ritchie. So both before 1914? - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000324468

    Lawrence/Robert French was here at a later date as in L_ROY 02128 the Tower has railings surrounding it. Also there is L_CAB 01478 of the Quays with 3 paddle steamers moored. One may be datable from its name if it is a companion plate to 2128. This may help to date the Lawrence photos and narrow the range for the Eason.

    TROVE IS SOMETIMES AMAZING! The railing happened on 15 August 1906 - 'Read All About It!' - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/166968894?searchTerm=%... So this Ritchie photo is before August 1906.

    If my memory serves me the monks at the new Abbey used to make marmalade on a commercial scale in the 1970s The new Abbey some 3 or 4 miles from this site was set up in 1938 with foundation stone blessed in 1957.

    Mr French's transport (see note) has "57" painted on the rear - see - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000325146 That six-storey mill on the left appears to have had trouble; not even a pile of rubble there now.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    No similar angle in streetview, but it does walk right into the ruins in abbeyview
  • Niall McAuley said:
    OSI is still not generating links, but the most obvious change is the mill building at left, which is completely gone now.
