So sleeps the pride of former days.'s by horourke

Carlow - Ireland, Carlow This is a mansion built by the local landlord in the early nineteenth century, abandoned by the emigrating owner in 1922 and finally dismantled for salvage in the period of scarcity of building material during World War II. Behind is the river barrow where a channel to the left, by-passing the natural rapids, was cut at the end of the eighteenth century to accommodate commercial boat traffic.
