Know where this is?

(Apologies for the big pic)

Does anybody have any idea where this place is? Someone gave this to me (cause I'm the only Irish person she knows) as she doesn't know where her grandmother came from in Ireland and is desperate to find out. This is her Gran on holidays back in Ireland with relatives, and there's a chance that it might be in Co. Clare or a surrounding county. The bridge in it is quite unusual, though the photo was taken in the late 1940s, so it might be gone now, especially considering

So anybody any ideas?

I know where that is! Your right it is an unusual brigde!
It's templebar.;)



Why were people from years ago so ugly? Nothing against the beauts in this
picture, but in general.

bad cameras

don't know myself as I only know bits of Dublin, and that looks to be on the coast somewhere to me (by the rock formations).

did a quick google and came up with
Irish Architecture Online who have a forum that might be able to help if you ask there.

might be better than us here because it's more specific to your requirements.

might be worth a go anyway.

The rock formation looks igneous ("bubble" formations left and right foregound), suggesting northern half of the country.

I concur with it propably being a coastline location.

The bridge appears to be cast iron, suggesting (but not necessarily) north or east of the country, probably built between 1850-1914. The photo however, is probably 1920s or later.

Does she have **any** other information - there is a geneaology office? Certain names will be local to a particular area.

I have to say I agree with Victor, I think it looks very much like the Antrim Coast up here in the North. I would even go as far to say that I think it is the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge which isnt too far from the Giants Causeway. I dont believe that walkway (which i think that is) or bridge is there any more, something to do with erosion if I am correct.

I could be wrong but it may be worth looking at a few sites featuring the Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge and trying to compare the images.

I don't think the rockface behind the Carrick-A-Rede bridge is quite so steep right beside it. Its steep farther back, but by the bridge it is relatively flat, I think.
