    I was curious about the ABC Tearooms. Not a branch of the British Aerated Bread Co. chain whose tea rooms were a major feature of many towns & cities from the late Victorian era through much of the 20th century, but rather a cafe owned by a Cork businessman Alfred Cole books.google.ie/books?id=zomQAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT8&lpg=... and his family. Cole was in partnership with an Alcox & a Brown in a Cork grocery concern, thus the ABC Cafe, as we see in the French photo. In the O’Connor photo we see that it’s a tearoom - one has to suspect that the inspiration might come from the chain restaurant.

No thatch in the Pike's?

    William Pike of Glendarary, J.P. Barrister-at-Law, died in 1881 and was succeeded by his son, Richard James Pike. Major Richard James Pike of Glendarary died 29/11/1891 and was succeeded by his son, Richard Nicholson Pike.

    "The only resident landlord on the island, Mr. William Pike ...", from a very disturbing contemporary Freeman's article about famine on Achill Island in 1880 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/133486960?searchTerm=p...
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    Funnily enough, the only person with the surname Pike who was enumerated in Mayo in the 1901 census was a German-born Church of Ireland jeweller by the name of Eanos Pike who was living as a lodger with the McNamara family in a three-roomed thatched house at Slievemore on Achill Island, not to far away from Glendarary!
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    Looking at the housing and building returns on the 1901 and 1911 censuses, I can't find a house to match Glendarary - there are six pages of records from the townland of Sraheens, but nothing of this size - could the house have been uninhabited as early as 1900?
