    Glanleam house and garden on Valentia island, co. Kerry. Google maps
  • Nydialy said:
    Glanleam was built as a linen mill in 1775 and converted into a house by the 19th Knight of Kerry, Sir Peter Fitzgerald (1808-1880). He also laid out the subtropical garden.
  • Nydialy said:
    Nowadays, Glanleam gardens can be visited from April to October. And you can sleep in Glanleam House.

    Congratulation for your beautiful Album.

    I think those rings are likely damage to the negative rather than sheep pens. They do not appear on the OSI 25" or the older 6".

    And haven't we seen this one before?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley I hope not!!! I searched all with all manner of terms but couldn't find it...

    I'm getting deja vu, anyhow...

    Cracker of a shot Carol, I don't think I've ever seen it before though we did see another looking across the sound. With the way the lads are standing about you'd think they were getting ready to ferry it across:-)

    A Mr Michael Kenna would have been station master at the time. www.flickr.com/photos/be216cd1/7653446174/in/photolist-cE...

    There's a description of the last day of the railway here under "Caherciveen Closure." "The 39½ mile branch line from Farranfore to Valentia Harbour - one of the most scenic lines in Ireland - was closed to all traffic on and from February 1. As January 31 was a Sunday the last trains ran on Saturday, January 30, a day on which the Kerry weather, true to form, provided rain almost without a break throughout the day"

    The location is Renard Point. The Royal Hotel and other buildings in Knightstown, Valentia are to be seen across the harbour. A famous restaurant and bar are at The Point today and a fish processing plant. A modern ferry runs to Valentia on a constant basis during daylight in the summer. The Royal Hotel in Valentia is still in business and thriving. There are now plans afoot to create a cycleway where the trains once ran.
