Hi Tarquin, love your work, stirs a lot in me, Grew up in Donnycarney behind me was the Casino Marino, Got in there aged 6before it was taken over by the board of works ! Fond memories and alot more, Keep it up its great stuff, Ian
Great web site and will definitely buy your book... I'm planning a one week cycle tour and am now thinking of basing it around your book ...i see loftus hall say bought and is being renovated .. keep up the good work..have you got a facebook page??
I have only just come across your website and I think it's wonderful! I have done a small amount of exploring ruins or old houses near my own hometown in Kildare but I never knew Ireland had such a wealth of amazing abandoned houses with such interesting stories behind them. I really admire how you work. I'm keen to go exploring now myself!
Just compiling dome information for my daughters for a Dear Dad story book. Found your images on the Workhouse in Cavan. There was a Poor House in Drogheda derelict in the early 1970's. The outer shell remained and faced onto the Dublin Road. Played there for several summers with my friends. Your images brought back many memories.
Just got the 2nd book to keep the 1st company and it is equally superb. I think you are doing a fantastic job Tarquin cataloging for historical record the buildings that shaped our history only to become victims of that troubled history themselves. Both the books and the website are addictive reading and viewing to such an extent that you can't close either of them when you've open them!. Best wishes for the future with them.
