MessageI met Ger McCarthy and enjoyed his talk on "The Forgotten Heritage of Kildare"He mentioned your book so I looked up your site and enjoyed the very atmospheric shots. I am interested in Irish Gardens and from my talks many people are fascinated by these old gardens and demesnes. I hope to purchase your book when it comes out in October.

MessageSplendid web site. Have been visting Ireland since 1994 and appreciate your photographs.

Being interested in Industrial Archaeology and history I find Abandoned Ireland an excellent resource.

Keep up the good work.

MessageHello Tarquin,
I've noticed that you change your homepage picture from time to time.Is there any chance that you could name the buildings featured on the homepage so that readers could find them in the contents list?
Cheers mate-keep up the brilliant work you are doing.
Tony.
T.B > I update the homepage pic everytime I add new material to the site and it would normally be one of the locations I've just added.. but occasionally I throw up a bit of mystery :)

MessageFantastic website, well done. The pics of Dun-Laoghaire baths brought back many happy memories of summers spent there. I sprinted up those stairs so many times with my passes for the slides. My uncle Patrick Walsh was a lifeguard there.

MessageIn the pictures of St. Kevins, Robert didn't turn off the lights. My father, Michael was a staff nurse there and the last person to leave the building so that duty fell to him. I remember St. Kevins as being so much brighter and warmer but then I was a child going to meet her father and so never saw the wards. It makes me sad to see it in such a dismal state, it was a beautiful building as your pictures prove. I hope that one day it will be restored and the gloomy atmosphere that surrounds it will be banished forever.

MessageFantastic photos, this is a record so worth keeping, shame these buildings cannot be restored, but the should be preserved.
I presume some of these are fisheye panoramas?
Brilliant. smilie

MessageBeautiful images and idea - will be buying the book when it's out. The virtual reality bit is great - seeing as it can be hard to find the time to leave the mad rush of city life sometimes...

Just musing - would you ever consider documenting some of the (disastrous) modern day empty dwellings, around the midlands I believe a lot of them are, seeing as that's a part of our history now too. They are even more poignant because they were never lived in!

All the Best smilie

MessageI'm still quite stumped at what I've found on your site. Have visited a couple of the sites featured and will continue to do so. You're doing a marvelous thing! Good look with the book!
