Most unusual image of the Dodder and its water hazards. In my time I've kayaked down that but only when there was lots of rain for a week or two beforehand. The Dodder is one of the most exciting rivers for kayaking but rarely has enough of a flow.

The sawmill was a calico printing factory at the time of the 6 inch survey, so it would seem to be after that.
derangedlemur said:
6-inch seems to have been 1837, so that doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know. 25-inch is 1911, also useless.

The two men remind me of Keaton and Chaplin. Mainly based on the hats.

Despite the title, this is not a canal lock, it's the lock at the weir on the Shannon at Athlone.

You can see the very same foreground stonework, water level (in that notch) and metal lock-gate-opening gizmo in my (relatively) recent photo, here:
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Niall McAuley Thanks for saving our (my!) blushes there. Have changed description, and in return, can tell you that the gizmo is officially a gate winch... So is that the canal at all?
Niall McAuley said:
No, it's just that lock you can see in the photo above, there's no canal at all. See an aerial view from Google maps linked below, the lock is to the left of the weir: maps.google.ie/maps?hl=en&ll=53.422947,-7.939392&...

Niall McAuley Thanks! Obliterated all mention of canal from tags...

Here's one of the gate winches without it's coverings and a close up of a plate inscription from another. You can see the winch could have been operated by one or two people and it originally used chains. Thomas Rhodes was Chief Engineer on the harbour project, the technical guy in charge.
