Who lives in a Fairy Castle? - stereoscopic view, public domain photorpaph
Summary
Yet again we have a case of deja vu! We seem to have seen aspects of this estate in the past though not the castle itself. A renaissance style castle set in the North of Ireland must have seemed pretty pretentious to the sober, hard working northern folk?.To all our many supporters and contributors on this Photostream we the three Marys and all at Library towers wish you a very happy St. Patricks Day...To the Ireland team who take on England in a Grand Slam decider tomorrow we say COME ON IRELAND..Thanks to BeachcomberAustralia ( /photos/beachcomberaustralia/ ) , sharon.corbet ( /photos/scorbet/ ) , and Niall McAuley ( /photos/gnmcauley/ ) for quickly identifying that this isn't strictly a castle - but the 19th century Scottish Baronial architecture of Helen's Bay railway station ( Helen's_Bay_railway_station ) in County Down. John Spooner ( /photos/johnspooner/ ) also suggests that, unlike other stereopairs that he's helpfully "3d-ified" this image isn't an entirely true stereo image. Apparently both sides are identical........Photographers: Frederick Holland Mares, James Simonton..Contributor: John Fortune Lawrence..Collection: Stereo Pairs Photograph Collection ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000034077 ) ..Date: Catalogue range c.1860-1883.
