It is always interesting to see how a small fishing village where the original inhabitants once struggled to make a living and where conditions were brutally harsh can become a place for the wealthy and famous! Dalkey is on such and the spread of the socially mobile denizens of the city of Dublin along the coast has swallowed it up like a fungus. It brings out the cynic in this Mary!

The row of cottages seems to be no more, but the leftmost building with the arched window above the door and a rectangular thing on its pediment above the door has survived and is now coloured pink with blue windows and door. Streetview

The Pilot Cottages on the left were built in 1807 to house the ‘hobblers’ who were private family operators who rowed out to pilot approaching ships in Dublin Bay.

My late and humble parents once resided near Bullock Harbour. Back in the 1960’s when the area was more affordable than it is today! If I recall correctly there is nowadays a senior citizens retirement residence right by the harbour…..

Via Trove from 1863 (a lot of Old Bullocks!) - "Longevity:- Patrick Mooney, a superannuated pilot, and one of the oldest men in Ireland, breathed his last at his residence, in Bullock, on Monday last, at the extraordinary age of 107. He passed his entire lifetime, except when he was at sea, in the above locality, where also lived his father, grandfather, and other ancestors for the last three or four hundred years, and whose bones rest in the old churchyard of Dalkey. The several members of this family were remarkable for longevity. About two years ago the sister of the deceased died at the age of 84. His grandfather was nearly 100, and a relative named Mrs. Fitzsimmons attained the age of 103. Patrick Mooney never married, and was an active, temperate man."

Some Dalkey pics like L_ROY_08911 previously have dates in the 1905-10 range, if I recall correctly.

Charvet MacArthur was released from Shelton Abbey prison on 17 September 2012. MacArthur's story inspired John Banville's 1989 novel, The Book of Evidence.
