Louth Picture Game

europerson

It's clear that many of the other counties have these "picture games" now, so I suppose Louth ought to be no different. So, here's a photo to get us going...

It's a bit early for a clue, don't you think? :eek: In any case, Louth's a small county with little geographical spread. In any case, I'll wait another couple of posts before I give a clue. Giving clues too early tends to ruin these games. That said, leaving clues too late can have a rather stifling effect, as has been observed in the Meath Picture Game, which, by the way, I recommend you all visit. I'm sure I shall figure out the optimum post-clue frequency in time.

Well, I don't know how well acquainted you are with Roche Castle or King John's Castle, but believe me when I say they look very different both to each other and to my picture! You're a few centuries out in terms of construction date too.

It's not Knockabbey, I'm afraid.

Well, it's not far away from Louth at all, but something more specific would be better. There's a closer village nearby.

Mr Magnolia

Great thread. Haven't got a scooby doo where that is but I'll be keeping an eye on this

I know what you're thinking of, bit again it's a very different type of building from a very different period.

Clue: The building in my photo is in Mid-Louth.

Could it be Louth Hall at Tallonstown ?
