This is part of a photograph by J.Collier dated 1865.
The engine shed, with the 2 round top doors, is still standing today as a last reminder of the railway.
To its left is the old school where the South Church is now.
Wine tower, Kinnaird Head lighthouse, Old Parish Church can be compared with the drawing.

The photo below is said to be cricket being played by the windmill.




That shadow suggests the photograph was taken from the east side.
The story of the windmill still needs to be written ??
