Derelict Crosshaven

Crosshaven is such a lovely town. I love to visit there, walking along the water front. The sounds of the wind blowing through the boat yard and the clinking of ropes and tackle hitting off masts is ever present. From a distance the town is picturesque, with the spire of the church towering over everything.

Unfortunately, even here you’ll find signs of derelict Ireland. I walked up the hill by the chipper and looking over the town is a small dilapidated cottage that has seen better days. This photo was taken about a year ago. Has anything been done about it since?

Cottages in decay

Two tiny cottages sit on the quayside in Cape Clear’s North Harbour. You might have missed them when you arrived because they’re off in the opposite direction most people take.

I was quite taken with the contrast between both cottages. While both are obviously old and have seen better days, the left one has a new roof and a PVC door and window. I wonder if anyone lives there?
