derelict house

old and forgotten

better days

out of sight from the main road, this place is still hanging on.

an old house

a friend told me that about sixty years ago a local man that he knew used to ride his bike to visit an elderly couple who lived here, they were in their nineties.  That's all I was told and so it's interesting to think how life was in the small house all those years ago.  I imagine after they died, the place sat uninhabited for all these years.

old warehouse

or store for William Norris & Son.  Their store is located on Malin Road which is one of the main roads in town.

The Creagh House was built in 1875 by Colonel Charles Howe Cuff Knox, one of the big landlords in the area.  In 1924 the Creagh estate became a TB sanatorium.  Reduced in size in the 1930s by fire, when part of it was demolished, there still remains today a sizeable period house of around 6000 square feet.  The Craigh House is in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo.

I would have liked to see what the books were.  Books and a beer :)

This served as part of the sanatorium, maybe for the patients to be examined or quarantined.

Here is an old photo of what the Creagh House looked back in the day;  Photo courtesy of the Archiseek website.
