Mother and baby homes were used throughout Ireland to provide refuge for unwed mothers and their babies. Refuge was not what they got, they received abuse, physical and mental and unimaginable horrors. In most cases their babies were taken and sold without their consent. Some even spent their entire lives in these institutions. Take a moment to think that its recorded some 56,000 women, some as young as 12 were in these homes all over Ireland and they gave birth to 57,000 babies. I think you'll agree these are shocking stats, and even worse in the last twenty years 9,000 deaths have been recor ..read more

Nearly six years have passed since my first visit to Peter's enchanting cottage.

I was delighted to wake up early one morning with a request to come and document an old shop before demolition the following day. I'm never sure what to expect, but I packed my camera and made tracks, and I was glad I did! Elaine's three great aunts used to own and work in the shop, and it holds fond memories for her and the wider community. The shop opened in 1903 and provided everything, from sweets to washing powder, boot polish, clothes, and some general hardware. Check out the old Inglis & Co. Belfast crate. I believe this was a bakery that made biscuits and cakes. (Correct me if I'm ..read more

The house was taken over by a certain group of people and it's condition has declined rapidly due to lead and copper theft.

Here are some shots of the ceiling Here it is in 2021 ☝️ The ceiling now ☝️ From above ☝️ How did it come about? I got a call a few months back from the gentleman who has recently bought Knocklofty.
