Description: Today we have a fine shot from the Stereo Pairs collection showing a "Toy" castle somewhere! These always remind me of AJ Cronins classic novel "Hatters Castle" [/photos/31363949@N02/ Leonard Bentley] identified the location very early in the day, well done. Thanks for all the comments, the most interesting I think from [/photos/79549245@N06/ DannyM8] "Lough Cultra Castle had been the home of the Vereker family, who had the title Viscount Gort. The 3rd Lord Gort was ruined by the Famine, when he refused to collect any rents and gave large sums of money to charity, with the result that the estate was bankrupted and sold up by the Encumbered Estates Court in 1851. The castle was bought back post World War II, by the 7th Viscount Gort. It was restored by the family. It has since been sold again" Photographers: Frederick Holland Mares, James Simonton Contributor: John Fortune Lawrence Collection: The Stereo Pairs Photograph Collection Date: between ca. 1860-1883 NLI Ref: STP_1693 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie
