    As far as I know, the design of the Glasshouse is meant to be a ship, with the glass to be the front of it. It looks a bit odd at the moment as the flats are still being built at the back of it, but once its finished completely it should make sense, and not so wierd.

    That's true.
    The idea is if you stand in the upstairs bar and look out at the river it seems like your on the deck of a ship.
    Very clever really

    You will learn plenty about this forum with a week off.

    Oh and sending me PMs with lots of little ***** in them doesnt exactly help your case.

    Goodbye muppet

    The railway station combines the loveliness of provincial Irish railway architecture (which makes railway journeys here such a pleasure), with a utilatarian monumentality that if it was not for the loss of its roof in the civil war woukd make it the finest railway building in Ireland. The aspect as you leave the station is particularly pleasing dominated by the two Cathedrals close by with Summerhill collge in the background.

    Forgot about the railway station (I usually get off at Ballymote) but I agree, its lovely. I quite like ballymote for that matter, has a nice rustic slightly twee feeling off it.

    It's only twee if it's a pastiche. It's an authentic victorian piece of railway architecture. Keep telling yourself that. Ballymote doesn't have alot of architecture to go around:rolleyes::D

    The courthouse at the top of the town is very nice. The churches are also very good. :P
