| Description |
What a lovely photograph to start the week. A delightful "cottage orné" built in the early 1800s by Richard Butler, 1st Earl of Glengall to a design by the famous Regency architect John Nash. Its interior contains a graceful spiral staircase and some elegantly decorated rooms. The wallpaper in the Salon manufactured by the Dufour factory is one of the first commercially produced Parisian wallpapers. Situated on an elevated site with access by stone steps. The above is from the link to Heritage Ireland posted by [/photos/129555378@N07/ sharon.corbet] . [/photos/91549360@N03/ O Mac PRO] supplied all the required mapping information. His Streetview link is worth a look.. Everything was proceeding quietly until we heard the dreaded "Accidental Death Klaxon" Thank you [/photos/47297387@N03/ Carol Maddock]. This was accompanied by a chilling story of the death of Mr Peter Doherty in tragic circumstances. Mr Doherty was the caretaker of the Swiss cottage at that time. Our great Australian contributor [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ beachcomberaustralia] Links us to a story from an Aussie visitor to the area in 1910, see below.
