Very generous davy, but john said definitively it is Cobh, I would never have guessed that.

Over to you john....

The only reason I know is that I've been there. Beautiful place and very interesting museum dealing with the mass emigrations following the famine. All the ships left from Cobh.
Just being pedantic, I clarify that my 'not Cork' meant Cork City.

If you Google 'photo's of cobh' it provides all the proof you need!

The church is St Colman's Cathedral.

That's Correct John. Cobh is a really beautiful place that used to be called Queenstown. Did you visit Spike Island when there John? it was an old British army barracks then an Irish army barrack after independence. Eventually it was turned into a prison up until 15 years or so ago they closed it down and has since become a museum. Its an interesting place is Cobh with an excellent view of the Cork Harbor. Some really nice Cafe's there too and beer gardens. Its also kept its original looks and hasn't been messed about by progress like other towns and cities in Ireland has. Picturesque and a place which is nice to visit for a day or two.

CW, unfortunately, we didn't spend much time in Cobh. It was a long week-end to do with Geneology. We went down to Cobh on the Sunday mid-day, which was our last day. Plane left early evening so we didn't have that long. If I'd known how nice it was I might have stayed longer.

No, I can't post pictures but I have got a couple which may prove challenging. If anyone would like to volunteer, I will post them off. Just PM your address. (all depends on whether I can find them though )
