haven't been around in a while - but keeping the photos going.
heres one of Gladstone Street, in better weather.

Sorry to quote this pic, but does anyone know the history behind the old pharmacy (No.23, the shop closest to the photographer in the picture)?

I grew up in Clonmel and I always wondered about that building. It always seemed to be stuck in a timewarp. I always thought the shop front and signage looked really classy and looked like nothing had changed since the 20's.

Would be nice if it was renovated however keeping all the old signage etc.

Some info about it in the Clonmel thread.

Lovely building but must be one of the longest restoration projects i can ever remember. I remember it was boarded off at the front with the walkway around the late 1980s when i was a young nipper in primary school if not even beforehand.

Out of curiosity how much was pumped into it and how long did it actually take? I would definately bet it spanned 3 decades and also there seemed to be fúck all building activity going on for most of it.

Fionn, has the pic of the Main Guard been doctored? That looks like a completely different colour tone.

the photograph was taken in July so there was good light, i did enhance it a little by adding a HDR (high dynamic range) filter to it to bring out the detail of the stonework and a small bit of saturation, thats about it.

i cant remember how long the place was boarded up but i can remember having a pint there on a few occasions when it was Cooneys pub - thats quite a while ago!

For St.Patricks weekend the OPW have changed the colour of the illumination lights on their sites from white to green. It was done in 26 of their sites. This is the first time it was done. I took a few pics of Cahir Castle lit up in green. It looks really well, and has attracted a lot of interest, especially from photographers.

If that's anything to do with Ray Darcy that's a good enough reason not to watch it

I wonder what will happen to the Town Hall after the Borough Council is abolished?

The movie crew for the film Moonfleet are filming in Cahir Castle today. It is due to be shown on Sky on Christmas day and Stehpen day, I am told.

I climbed Tountinna yesterday and you are all so lucky with the spectacular views all around, especially so overlooking Lough Derg

The Views in the images underneath are of and from the 'Millenium Cross'

Did you take any photos of the remains of Fr Macs cross while you were up there ?

In short, no.

I'm preparing myself for Mountain Skills 2 and Assessment. During Tountinna I had marked tick-off points for myself and the Millenium Cross & Graves of the Leinstermen were two.
Yesterday when the pain kicked in with my back & legs I lost focus and missed a different tick-off so had to re-focus; re-trace; get my timings/pacing correct again which was easy with the weather yesterday but on another day, would not have been as easy. I'm sure their are other tick-off points aside from Fr. Macs Cross that were not on my pre-planned list that I missed also though.

I just had different plans and different focus on my trek yesterday, but if I return I will look-out for that cross and post some pictures though

The Movie Barry Lyndon starring Ryan O'Neal was filmed around Cahir Castle back in the 70s.

My dad who was in the army was one of the many extras used.
