Sale room notice
The present work was painted from the first floor window of what was then the Railyway Hotel and is now Foyles Clifden Bay Hotel. It looks towards E.J. Kings pub which is still there today. The view has altered very little. Lady Gregory used to spend holidays in Clifden staying at Rock Glen House and Streamstown House.
