    See notes on photo. Tractor is a bit fuzzy on Megazoom but looks like a Fordson Major. Exhaust pipe is outside bonnet on LH side. Dextas came through bonnet. Good write up on Railbuses if you click on above picture.

    Niall McAuley The ivy or creeper hasn't been allowed to take over, but the modern scene looks very cluttered by comparison, doesn't it?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Think this may be a little later, say c.1910 due to the style of the electric lamp-post. What is going on? A haystack convention? Trying to think of the collective noun for haystacks ...
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In "The Electrical Engineer" of April 4, 1890, we find that the Galway Electrical Company was using hydroelectric power to light the harbour with incandescent lamps, and "competed with the gas company for the public lighting of both the town and the harbour".

    Congratulation for your beautiful Album.

    The narrow body of water, the background and the subjects immediately made me think Kerry, and more specifically Valentia Island. I think if you look at the triangular shaped field in the back ground on the left and the line of trees from the shore, it matches up with the view from this link looking across a boggy field from Carhan Lower, Co. Kerry on the road to Portmagee looking over at Valentia Island. goo.gl/maps/J1cq43KVBtP2
