Summary edit

Description

The recent scenes from Salthill in Galway are in marked contrast to the beautiful still conditions in this lovely Lawrence image of (allegedly) the same spot. We thought it was perhaps too calm to be the west coast. And indeed today's commenters have provided evidence that, though labelled as "Salthill Hotel, Salthill, Co. Galway" in our catalogue, this is more likely to be Co. Dublin.

Though confirmed to be the "Salthill Hotel", this image was captured not in County Galway, but in Monkstown, close to Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin. With thanks in particular to [/photos/angeljim46/ AndyBrii], [/photos/gnmcauley/ Niall McAuley], [/photos/66311327@N05/ B-59], and [/photos/23885771@N03/ RETRO STU] for insights on the location, and [/photos/129555378@N07/ sharon.corbet], [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ beachcomberaustralia] and [/photos/91549360@N03/ O Mac] on the details which helped refine the range by a further 2 decades....

Photographer: Robert French

Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection

Date: Between 1865 - 1914 (but likely before 1894 given that we can't see the treatment plant that was added on/after that date)
