WILLIAM’S HOUSE / NEWRY MAN LOST
I visited William’s house in 2012 but due to a lost hard drive that i’ve recently recovered I have just come across these images.Once the Jewel in the Crown of the Galway coastline, William’s house now lies idle.It was built in the late 18th century by an aristocratic family of barons from Sussex who came to Ireland and were granted – or rather, grabbed – vast tracts of land and decided to create “as fine and elegant a private gentleman’s seat as any in Europe”.Lying vacant from 2004 there is hope for this stately pile as it is to be restored later this year.Location name and details will not be given to protect the property from vandals.
