Francis 'Frank' William Green (24 November 1861 - 20 March 1954) British industrialist artuk.org/discover/artworks/francis-frank-william-green-1... www.thepeerage.com/p47543.htm#i475422 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Green

I don't think that this photo was taken at Treasurers House, which would be quite in the middle of York en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasurer%27s_House,_York goo.gl/maps/pa9viU1ytwR2

His riding whip and one of his riding jackets is in Treasurer's House.

There is a second non-digitised photo entitled "Mr. Frank Green, Treasurers House, York on horse" but dated ca. 1922.

Thanks B-59! As, per that Wikipedia link, Mr Green lived into the 1950s (and his 90s), one imagines we can take at least a few decades off the image range. The man pictured could be in his 40s or 50s (1900s-1910s), or maybe even early 60s or 70s (1920s-1930s), but one imagines he's not captured in his 80s or 90s here. Allowing us to perhaps drop at least 2 decades off the 1901-1954 range. Sharon Corbet's 1920s suggestion seems more than reasonable....

23 August 1925 was a Sunday . . .

They weren't building the church, it opened in 1896 per the DIA.

Per the Irish Newspaper Archive, I see headlines for (edited for readability): Friday August 28, 1925 Duncannon Fete and Sports. Friday August 21, 1925 The list of probables for Sunday's big event at Duncannon will be further augmented by Sunday evening. Friday August 14, 1925 DUNCANNON CARNIVAL promoters of the above to provide an attractive bill of fare for those visiting Duncannon on the 23rd. Valuable prizes will be given for the various athletic events, including a handsome silver CUP for the five-mile marathon race presented by Messrs. T. and H. Heine, jewellers, Waterford. (Unfortunately, the Waterford Council digitized archive does not cover 1925.) The 23rd was indeed a Sunday in 1925.

A different Stella Maris “Far away in the west the sun was setting and the last glow of all too fleeting day lingered lovingly on sea and strand, on the proud promontory of dear old Howth guarding as ever the waters of the bay, on the weedgrown rocks along Sandymount shore and, last but not least, on the quiet church whence there streamed forth at times upon the stillness the voice of prayer to her who is in her pure radiance a beacon ever to the stormtossed heart of man, Mary, star of the sea.” ― James Joyce, Ulysses

From Dooney Rock towards Cottage Island - or am I on the wrong track?

Mary, there is not much food at the picnic? They must have ate the Dog..

I wonder if they are looking at the schedule of photos taken and photos still to be taken?

I wonder if the middle one is W. B. Yeats who is looking for a page in his notebook to write down a poem which has just popped into his head - 'The Fiddler of Dooney' (first published 1892) - youtu.be/J2yR_7-QOp4

Mr French returned on a different day (see water level around Cottage Island) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000334359
