    Nice flying snail hat.

    I wonder what it is. It looks like a 121 except that they don't have a middle window facing back, and if it's facing forward, there'd be another window on the side before the big window. Where are all the usual rail bods? Edit: It looks like some had windows facing along the hood and others didn't. B132, seems to have one, for example. irishrailwaymodeller.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6294 And 124 seems to have windows in some pictures and not in others. Anyway, I now pronounce this to be a 121 class locomotive looking three quarters rearward.

    The 121s had middle windows facing back (back is actually forward on the 121s - running cab forward is reverse). The windows were plated over as part of a cab upgrade in the early 2000s

    I checked our trusty Irish Motor Directory and Motorists' Annual, and who appears in the 1912-1913 edition but the registered owner of IY 136 - one Major A. Owen Lewis, H.M. Prison, Mountjoy, Dublin...

    Streetview, GeoHive OS 25" link.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The corner shop at left was said to be "nearing completion" in 1909 in the Westmeath Independent, according to the NIAH
  • Niall McAuley said:
    As can be seen at the OS map link, this is Church Street further along, but the near end is Custume Place, formerly Victoria Place. Several of the shop owners can be found in the 1911 census: e.g Campbell, Farrelly, Fleming's Medical Hall is on Church St. proper.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Charles Fair, Solicitor, has a first floor office at left.

An ecclesiastical complex among the tussocks

  • derangedlemur said:
    The church looks COI, so I don't think it's an ecclesiastical complex. I reckon it's an institution.
  • derangedlemur said:
    There's a better view in catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000565499 It's massive and beside a railway.

    We've been here before:

    Here's an update Geohive version of the OSI 25" showing the railway line, the Hevey Institute, the palace and the church, in Mullingar.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Streetview showing the front of the building. The church has been replaced by the Cathedral of Christ the King (built in 1936).
