The Salthill Hotel, Kingstown (now Dun Laoghaire), County Dublin in the 1800s

My restored and colourised pre-1894 photo of the Kingstown Railway Company’s Bath in Kingstown, now Dún Laoghaire and in the background the old Salthill Hotel designed by J.S. Mulvany for the Dublin & Kingstown Railway Co. in 1843.
Unfortunately it had been left derelict for some time before being destroyed by fire in 1970 and was later demolished in 1972. Once our architectural heritage is gone, it’s gone forever!

Is that how it works?
What’s 2000-2009 called? The two thousands? Sounds wrong.
Not surprised at Trevalyan. The coldest place in Ireland. Learned to swim there. My lips still icily swell and teeth chatter at the sight of it.
It could still be a picturesque sea front if it wasn’t for an abomination of a library.
