OSI: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,463874,542822,11,7 There's a gap in the 25", so we can't see what the barrier in the sea is, or whether there's a fish saltery there. Perhaps they're smuggling toffee in barrels.

derangedlemur Pulleen Harbour on the Beara Peninsula. How did you know!!??

Stuart The two figures are wearing distinctively west-cork caps, while the man is sporting a type of moustache common to the Castletownbere area. The barrels are of the rope tied type favoured to the west of Castletownbere over the more expensive iron bound examples used by the poshos to the east. More prosaically, it looks like west Cork, and a quick scan of the OSI does the rest. It took three or four goes, since I started in Glengarriff and searched west, so a certain amount of luck involved.

BTW Welsh whisky doesn't have an E, whether it's in English like the bottle on my shelf, or in Welsh - wisgi

Via Trove in 1888, from an article about "Irish Wit" -

... In Bandon the distillery of Messrs. Allman and Co. is known by the name "Al-co-Hall" ...

John Spooner The current P.J. O'Driscoll lives up the road from my parents house. Obviously a name they kept in the family. Every now and again his peacocks would visit our garden and he'd have to come collect them. We still have some tail feathers in a vase in the hall.

I think this looks east across the inner part of the estuary at Rosscarbery, with the cottages at East Rock bottom left and Burgatia Hill opposite

I had the pleasure of going to secondary school in Rosscarbery. Once a month we got to go canoeing on the lagoon. I used to love going for walks to The Warren or down the other side to the pier. The photo must have been taken from up in Ardagh West up by the Ardagh Boys N.S.

Marked on the 25" map as "Summerhill House", that building across the water mid left has a closer view - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000332619

L_CAB_07941 in the other direction is Kilcullen, less likely to be close in date, but a newspaper poster mentions the Land Act. If after 1898, likely 1903 or 1906.
