Summary

Today we have a fine shot from the Stereo Pairs collection showing a "Toy" castle somewhere! These always remind me of AJ Cronins classic novel "Hatters Castle"..Leonard Bentley ( /photos/31363949@N02/ ) identified the location very early in the day, well done...Thanks for all the comments, the most interesting I think from DannyM8 ( /photos/79549245@N06/ ) .."Lough Cultra Castle had been the home of the Vereker.family, who had the title Viscount Gort. The .3rd Lord Gort was ruined by the Famine, when he .refused to collect any rents and gave large sums of.money to charity, with the result that the estate was.bankrupted and sold up by the Encumbered Estates Court.in 1851. The castle was bought back post World War II,.by the 7th Viscount Gort. It was restored by the .family. It has since been sold again"...Photographers: Frederick Holland Mares, James Simonton. .Contributor: John Fortune Lawrence. .Collection: The Stereo Pairs Photograph Collection ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000034077 ) . .Date: between ca. 1860-1883. .NLI Ref: STP_1693 ( vtls000565008 ) . .You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )
