Boats moored by a harbour, in an unknown location (probably Schull, Co...

A summary note attached to this O'Connor shot adds a description: "Two men, possibly fishermen or harbour workers, are posing for the camera. A railway line is visible in the foreground" - but there's no expans... More

We're going on a bear hunt! - stereoscopic view, public domain photorp...

A cave deep in the woods would always hold the attraction of exploration and the thrill of danger, especially for the young at heart! Where is this one and has the scene changed much in the last 150 years?..Ro... More

Arthur Henri Poole - Loves young dream

This commission from Mr. Noonan, of Crooke, Passage East, County Waterford was to copy a photograph taken earlier by a photographer who had his/her name embossed on the original. A really handsome couple in th... More

"The house at the bridge below the mountain" is Adrigole, West Cork

A beautiful scene in a valley with mountains in the background to start this shortened week. Ireland has changed so much since this photograph was taken, now we have an old new president in the Áras, we don't ... More

Ross Corbett House, Glengarriff, Co. Cork

It would appear that Mr. O'Dea was on his holliers in July 1965 and spent them in the rugged beauty of West Cork. Was "Ross Corbett" the owner or the name of the house and can we locate it?..The short answer i... More

Down de banks..., Cork, Ireland

A very rare visit to the O'Connor Collection and to the banks of my own lovely Lee for todays shot. Yesterdays elegant clutter is followed by an open space with the storied river flowing right through it domin... More

Corner boy and cottages in Kinsale

A fine Monday morning to be alive and standing outside stone cottages in the beautiful town of Kinsale in County Cork. An unusual image from the Mason Collection given that he used them for lectures and genera... More

Robert French - Lord of the rocks and the crevices

The entrance to Lord Bantry's estate in Glengarriff looks trim and proper while just outside the wild rocky country of West Cork looms large like an impending disaster! This beautiful image from the Lawrence c... More

"Institutional style building in an unknown location" is a convent in ...

We continue with Mr Fergus O'Connor today. I notice that there is a little photoshopping going on, see mid-right of the photo via Megazoom (TM). The lad sitting on the wall immediately reminded me of Dennis th... More

Dead Slow or I Fire!!, Cork, Ireland

Here we are back in Cork again, on "the Banks", looking at the Lower Glanmire Road from the Marina. I think it will be a challenge to get a good date, though perhaps the buildings on the North side will help? ... More

Robert French - Charabanc at the Lake Hotel

This delightful shot shows a "Charabanc" or "Omnibus" loading up with happy trippers outside the Lake Hotel in Inchigeela, County Cork. The image is full of detail including hats, horses, people - but any dogs... More

Father and son at Inniscara, Cork, Ireland

A proud father and son on a day out in 1958 at Inniscara, County Cork. O'Dea documented the destruction, or to use a much used word these days, the 'deconstruction' of Ireland's railway system. It went from a... More

Regulars and irregulars on opposite sides(?)

The original title on this Hogan image taken apparently during the Irish Civil War is "Soldiers and locals gathered in a rural village"! Interestingly the soldiers on the left are in full uniform whereas the a... More

Day of the Black Dog - at Church Bay, Cork

A scene more reminiscent of what were then the colonies than what we might expect of Ireland. A house with lots of lean-to shades, and people sitting out taking the sun, while others comport themselves in the ... More

An ass, a dog and a poster - everything for everybody?

This posed cabinet sized image from Robert French looks like a picture postcard! It was probably taken for just that reason as Lawrence ran a commercial photography business producing cards and prints for publ... More

Robert French - Long Quay, Kinsale, Co. Cork

We are off to the Rebel County today. A fine shot of Kinsale from the Lawrence Collection. It is a shame about the crack in the plate but I do not think that it takes too much away from the photo. ..We have a l... More

Cloghleigh Castle, Moorepark, Fermoy, Co. Cork

Back to North Cork today to near Fermoy. These fortified households are dotted all around the island and calling them castles appears to be a bit of an over-inflation. This one looks very big in comparison wi... More

Square & Main street, Mitchelstown, Co. Cork

If I remember correctly we have been to Mitchelstown before but not with this particular view and not with the Eason collection? Up in the heights of north Cork, Mitchelstown is a small town of wide streets an... More

Street, Midleton, Co. Cork, Cork, Ireland

To end the week, on Friday this time, I thought a visit to Ireland's secessionist County of Cork would be appropriate! This lovely Eason shot of a street in Midleton is a far cry from the statues, banks and hac... More

Arthur Henri Poole - Sir Walter Raleigh, cottage at Youghal

From the academic Sir John P. Mahaffy to his more famous knightly colleague Sir Walter Raleigh and a cottage in County Cork! My definition of a cottage and Raleigh's definition would be many miles (or rooms an... More

South Main Street and Clock Gate from North Youghal, Queenstown, Co. C...

I can almost hear the protests as I type! Youghal and Cobh/Queenstown are two distinct towns in County Cork and North Youghal is not a part of the latter! Labelling aside, this lovely Eason image of South (or ... More

The folks that live on the hill - in Renny, Co. Cork

I'm not sure where "Renny" is, but it seems an ideal situation for a farmstead that might fear attack from the natives. Water in plentiful supply, trees and grass aplenty and a high stance for lookout and defe... More

Robert French - Arcade, Rosscarbery, Co. Cork

On Monday we had a Bazaar from ancient Persia and today we have an "Arcade" from old Latin meaning "Arcata" - 'arch of a bridge' and taken to mean a market in a series of arches! Todays grand arcade is in Ross... More

Robert French - No drisheen in Drishane Castle but plenty of clutter!

While this room is cluttered with books, pictures, furniture, etc, it is not a museum - but well loved and lived in. A snapshot into the lives of the Anglo Irish nobility at that time showing a love of reading... More

Robert French - Mitchelstown Castle, Co. Cork

To begin the week one day late here is a magnificent building in Mitchelstown, Co. Cork. (As regards our last image, the dog's name was "Stop" - because every time he tried to run and play, his owner shouted "S... More

The Rileys - Survivors of the sinking of the Lusitania, Cobh (former...

With thanks to our amazing contributors, it seems that this really is the Riley family: Annie and Edward Riley and their 4-year-old twins Ethel and Sutcliffe. Given that only 764 of the nearly 2000 souls aboard... More

Robert French - Admiralty House

I selected this photograph from the catalogue for two reasons, firstly because it is a striking building and secondly because I knew absolutely nothing about it. All that said I am willing to wager that there ... More

Robert French - West Beach, Queenstown, Co. Cork

While we have been to Queenstown/Cobh before this fine Lawrence shot of the West Beach has lots of interest. Those skifs and the people around add interest to the scene with occasional ghosts to liven things u... More

Main Street, Midleton, Co. Cork

A new week and we start off with a photo from the lovely town of Midleton. I think something looks staged in this one, what do you think?..With thanks in particular today to the contributions of Niall McAuley (... More

Robert French - The Square, Fermoy, Co. Cork

Another angle on the Square, Fermoy with our backs to the River Blackwater. We have seen this square before but usually looking out across the bridge. It is surprising to see how dominated the town is by the ... More

The West End is definitely the place to go ... in Mallow!

The West End in Mallow was obviously a thriving place given the amount of goods and chattels on display. It seems a very "English" name or description for an Irish town, I wonder is it still used today?..Thank... More

Horse drawing carriage leaving from the Eccles Hotel, Glengarriff, Co....

Today we begin with a grammatically incorrect description for a fine O'Connor photograph. It is not a horse drawing but a horse drawn carriage. I know, I'm just being picky:-)..Photographer: Fergus O’Connor..... More

Republican prisoners captured during the attack on Passage West being ...

Following from yesterday's related Hogan shot ( ...nlireland/21840621989/ ) , here we see pro-treaty forces escorting anti-treaty prisoners following the Battle of Cork. Given the learnings yesterday, it seems ... More

Major General Ennis (with Thompson gun) and Comdt. McCreagh or McCrea

Today and tomorrow we've got two related Hogan photos from the civil war's "Battle for Cork" (July-August 1922). ..The first was labelled in the catalogue as "Major General Ennis (with Thompson gun) and Comdt. ... More
