Three Louth landmarks captured in Rebecca Brownlie’s haunting Abandoned Ireland 2
Glyde Court in Tallanstown and Tain Adventure Centre in Caringford are featured
Three locations in Louth feature in a new book of photography by photographer Rebecca Brownlie.
In Abandoned Ireland 2, Ms Brownlie travels further off the beaten path to explore and showcase Ireland’s forgotten buildings before nature or the demolition man claims them forever.
The three Louth locations are Glyde Court in Tallanstown, Tain Adventure Centre in Caringford and the Garlic House.
Amid the decay, tables are elaborately set for tea, coats hang by the door and well-thumbed books lay poised and open, as if their owner will be back at any moment.
From a castle where King James II stayed before the Battle of the Boyne to a manor house whose occupants mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the night, the arresting and poignant photography on every page is a love letter to Ireland’s buildings abandoned to time.
