Heading over to Eire to see relatives before the current wave of the pandemic got any worse, I spent a day in the boggy centre of the country looking at waterworks remains.
On the way back to the ferry I stopped off here, mainly on the strength of UrbandonedTeam’s recent report, https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/st-stanislaus-college-ireland-july-2021.130933/.
History. Built in the early 1800’s and subsequently extended at various times it was a Catholic school up until the early 1900’s.
It then became a training school and retreat for priests, finally ending up as a nursing home which closed suddenly around 2005.
The building, which is protected (listed) has remained empty since with lead stolen from the roofs, pipes from under the floorboards etc. and is now a bit of a wreck.
Although the architecture is different it reminded me of the asylum in Ennis - not a lot of 'content' but loads of multicoloured decay and some nice features, particularly the staircases.
Pictures are a mixture of phone and camera, taken over about an hour and a half as the sun was setting.
Starting at the top and working down, avoiding particularly lethal-looking areas.
