Summary

Description
English: High angle long shot village over small cliffs to beach and bay with many small boats, low hills, in background.


[/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ beachcomberaustralia] had the location of this photo identified in jig time as Dunmore East, Co. Waterford, he should enjoy his day in the sun, as [/photos/8468254@N02/ derangedlemur] confidently predicted that if he had been here at the time he would have been quicker!

If ifs and ands were pots and pans (there'd be no work for tinkers' hands).

Beachcomber also tells us that "In about 1812 a decision was made at Westminster to create an entirely new landing point for passengers and mails coming to Ireland from London and southern England. The location selected was Dunmore East and £118,000 was set aside for the erection of a pier there. So in 1814 dramatic changes took place when Alexander Nimmo, the Scottish engineer (builder of Limerick's Sarsfield Bridge) commenced work on the new harbour at Dunmore to accommodate the packet station for ships, which carried the Royal Mail between England and Ireland"
