X1097 : Dromana House across the Blackwater river
taken 13 years ago, near to Cappoquin, Co Waterford, Ireland
Dromana House across the Blackwater river
Dromana House has been lived in by the same family for over 500 years. Originally the Fitzgeralds, later Villiers and now Villiers-Stuart. The house has been added to considerably over the centuries but in 1964, a large section was demolished, leaving only the 17th century building.
The small parking area in the foreground was once a quay where schooners would dock to load pit props, which were transported to Youghal and were then shipped to South Wales to be used in coal mines there.
