    Does anybody have any information about Southpark (South Park) House just outside Castlerea?

    I know it was owned by the Balfe family and burnt in 1921, just wondering if any locals have any more knowledge on the history of the house or photographs etc.

    I had encountered that in my google searching, thanks, the woman on that forum has actually written a short but decent history of Southpark but I was interested in getting local impressions or anecdotes about the place. I wanted to see about doing an oral history project on the demesne you see but I suppose Boards is little used by the demographic who would remember the most about the estate!
