Robert French - Victoria Castle East Gate, Killiney, Co. Dublin
Summary
Had I not seen the caption on this image I would have thought that I was looking at a castle in Spain or some far land! A beautiful scene that is nearly on the doorstep of Library Towers! Killiney has changed a wee bit since this shot was taken by Mr. French.....Sharon.corbet ( /photos/scorbet/ ) confirms that the castle has also changed a bit since - at least in name. Now called Manderley Castle ( Manderley_Castle ) and owned by musician Enya, Victoria Castle was built in the 1840s by QC and MP Robert Warren. O Mac ( /photos/91549360@N03/ ) suggests that it was captured before before the early 1880s (when Killiney railway station was built and would've been visible in the middle distance, as it is in the modern StreetView)....Photographer: Robert French..Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000313414 ) ..Date: Catalogue range c.1865-1914. Perhaps before c.1882 (railway)..NLI Ref: L_CAB_00434 ( vtls000340212 ) ..You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie ) .
