    Where are all the Females of Swords?

    Swords House is behind the trees on the left side.

    From the Fingal Independent:

    "The house was owned by Col.Fitzeustace Forster and at the beginning of the 20th century, to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, he allowed the general public to come in and view the ‘light show’ he had organised.
    Apparently, every window in the house was lit up to mark the occasion and that would have been a rare sight for Swords."

    In 1901 he was "absent on the Continent".

    There's a lady (or at least someone wearing skirts) in the left-middle ground. She is blurred. Because, unlike all the stationary males, she's got stuff to do. I expect the other females of the locality all had better things to do than stand about for a photo :)

    It looks like it might be this windmill: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,720250,744524,11,7 If so, it appears that the site (and the base of the structure) may have been preserved on a promontory within the quarry: binged.it/2xO0y4W

    Rory Sherlock The Bing bird's eye view is pretty cool, too.

    From the Independent July 1 2005 Feltrim Windmill THE story of the Feltrim windmill is one of the most dramatic in terms of Fingal’s heritage. Had it stood today, it would have matched Skerries for one of the most beautiful sights in the region. All that remains of the structure is part of the interior but even that is striking in its design. It should be noted that the structure is fenced off and on private property. The Feltrim windmill was built in the late 1600s from red Dutch bricks (still there) and by Dutch workers. It was used as a woolen mill to start and then a corn mill for up to 100 years, ending in the great storm of 1839 when the giant sails were blown off. It still stood magnificently for many decades later until 1973 when it was demolished on a Saturday night, ending centuries of dominance of the Feltrim skyline.
