right general area. It's cullenstown is it?

Tzar Chasm · 24-07-2012 9:22am

Well unless I missed some memo over the weekend and cullenstown has seceeded from the parish Bannow would be a perfectly acceptable answer.

Also, what's with all the interest in the parish, I know its the centre of the civilized universe an all but if ya keep post in pics of it we'lk be overrun with foreignists gawkin at stuff

Cullenstown is one of only a handful of beaches in Wexford that has a 'Green Coast' award .

It is already well advertised here , even with photos :

So don't have any particular fixation / fascination with this area , other than enjoying its coastline .

was watchin that Coast program on BBC2 they had a bit about Rare whistling sand Beaches, where the sand squeaks when you walk on it, apparently its quite rare to find sand like it,they said there were about 30 in the British Isles, and Bannow Island is oneof those

The old bridge at Ferry Carrig (sic) and it looks like it was intended for thrill seekers only! The round tower looks a bit shook too and I will come back to it tomorrow with another strange photograph.

Ferrycarrig an interesting aerial view from the south but is it my imagination or is something missing?

I knew the creative man who did this work on his house.

This thread seems to have died a death so I'm posting this pic for which I need a definitive location - i.e. it's not a competition. Thanks in advance.

Is there an old house like that in Ballymore outside Camolin?

If it's the house that I think it is, it's near Oulart but I need somebody to confirm as I can't get out there myself.

Missent · 04-02-2014 10:14pm

Yeah, pretty bad out there tonight. Tried to get to Clonroche from Wexford an hour ago but the Slaney has come over the road just beyond the Heritage Park. Then tried to get there via Adamstown after going down the N25. Huge tree straight across the road just after you turn for Adamstown. Gave up and turned for home and another tree down on the top of Forth Mountain but there is a gap cut through it.

If the house in your photograph is near Oulart, it's unlikely to be Ballymore which is on the eastern side of Camolin. More checking needed, I think.

Hello,
I am looking for old photos of the Brandon House Hotel (formerly Five Counties Hotel).
I have looked at a number of places but I have not been successful so far.
I am wondering if someone here would have old photos where the exterior of the building can been.
Thanks in advance.

Reason I suggested that was that first time I opened the file it was upside down...

St Helens Bay ?

Tzar Chasm · 23-06-2014 5:51pm

Nope. Heres one from a different spot, this is standing on the cliff in the other shot, should be more recognisable.

St Senan · 24-06-2014 8:00pm

It looks like Harrylough Templetown looking out towards Brownstown Head Dunmore east.

Nope.

Tzar Chasm · 25-06-2014 10:28am

Getting closer, thats Baginbun I the distance of the second picture

Missent · 25-06-2014 1:24pm

That looks like the view of Baginbun from Bannow Island.

Can anyone identify this building and does it still exist? Thanks in advance.

Eliza1 · 20-09-2014 11:10am

That's an old shot of Kelly's Hotel in Rosslare

Judgement Day · 20-09-2014 11:25am

Thanks for that. On the old postcard image that I have it is called "The Rosslare Hotel", Rosslare Strand - originally built in 1895. Changed a bit - I just had a quick look at Kelly's website.

Del.Monte · 08-05-2016 11:04am

Found this sad postcard reminder of the Guillemot online today. I remember being on the ship back in the early 1970s when she was moored in Wexford harbour, and nearly breaking my neck on the stairs as I tried to go down them facing forwards!

Del.Monte · 21-10-2016 10:03am

Here's an interesting picture of Ferrycarrig before the new bridge was built and the N11 was bulldozed through the hillside.

Poochie05 · 21-10-2016 7:11pm

Do you know what year the picture is from?

Del.Monte · 06-01-2017 9:22pm

An old postcard of the Talbot Hotel - presumably the current building is on the same footprint?

https://irishpostcards.wordpress.com/hotels/

RadioRetro · 14-01-2017 1:18pm

Yes, the older part of the hotel is most of the left of the existing building with a new facade on the front.

Del.Monte · 07-06-2017 7:38pm

Kelly's Hotel has come a long way from these early postcard views. Even in the few short years between these two early 20th century postcards the building had more than doubled in size.
