Undated vintage photograph of Rosbeg, Westport with Croagh Patrick in the background (see National Library of Ireland). Thanks to James Kelly, Westport Historical Society, for bringing this picture to my attention.Detail of the top photograph showing Rossymailley House center-background, across the bay from the photographer and in front of the mountain.
George Moore wrote from Rossmally (his spelling) in 1905, the year he published The Lake. At that time it was the home of his friend and property manager Thomas Fair Ruttledge (1855-1925), who later moved to Westport Lodge.
