This is intended to confuse the uninitiated! Everybody knows that Blarney is in Cork?
Of course you all knew that Blarney is in Cork not Kerry as per our catalogue. This fine house unlike some we have seen recently survived the troubles of the 1920's.
Niall McAuley Thinks that the photograph was taken from Blarney Castle, which we featured a few weeks ago.
If you have a few minutes please have a look at our blog there is an interesting article on The Annie O’Farrelly Papers,

The date range can be shortened a bit - as one of the tags mentions it was only built in 1875, so the photo isn't really possible before that.
