And haven't we seen this one before?

Niall McAuley I hope not!!! I searched all with all manner of terms but couldn't find it...

I'm getting deja vu, anyhow...

Cracker of a shot Carol, I don't think I've ever seen it before though we did see another looking across the sound. With the way the lads are standing about you'd think they were getting ready to ferry it across:-)

Looks like the clock tower is being built. When did that happen? See also reverse view -

www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&... says that the clock tower was built built c. 1880.

I never realized it is red! In 2014 via RoystonVasey, who gives a little more history... "This Town Clock structure was built in the late 1800’s. The lower section original housed the scales for the weighbridge outside on the left. Initially there was just the lower section but the Knight of Kerry decided to make the building more aesthetically acceptable by adding the upper Clock Tower including a four faced clock. Unfortunately, the clock was put out of commission in 1922 by some Free State Soldiers or so the story goes. Like all stopped clocks, it remained an eternal liar up until 1990 when it was restored to full working order..."

"First established in the 1830s, the Royal Hotel Valentia has played host to two future Kings of England in its time and took the name ‘Royal’ after a visit from Queen Victoria’s son, Price Arthur at the end of the 19th century. " From the Hotel's website - royalvalentia.ie/hotel/ , which also includes a similar view which another site dates as 1904 - www.rareirishstuff.com/kerry/royal-hotel-valentia-valenci...

beachcomber australia 🐕🐕🐕

Looking at the shadow under the donkey and cart I would think it is midday or early afternoon. But clock says different. Not off to the bog but to the meadow as there is a wood tine hay rake on top of the creels of the cart. Young lad with hand on coping of wall seems to be in uniform and cap (Post&Telegraph). Is that his bike leaning against the inside of the wall? Other young man leaning on wall has his arm around a strainer wire from a telegraph pole just out of shot. No shadow from wires in shot or insulators to be seen on house opposite. Time on clock I shall leave to beachcomber. Looking at pier we are not on high water yet or tide is o the ebb. Also of note is demasted vessel moored offshore.
