For anyone interested in genealogical research - I've contributed a piece to the quarterly Irish Roots Magazine on school houses, school records and genealogical research, available now. ...And don't forget, to come along to Nano Nagle Place next Friday, March 8 at 6 pm for the launch of The Deserted School Houses of Ireland, which is available NOW in all good bookshops and from online outlets! @nanonagleplace #archaeology #architecture #urbex #rurex #ruralireland #geography #photography #heritage #heritageireland #history #localhistory #georgian

A little post to the blog this evening looking at the iconic work of Basil Raymond Boyd-Barrett – Architect of National Schools for the Office of Public Works. Many thanks to Ross McCarthy for pointing out this character of Irish Architecture to me. The text borrows heavily from the work of Butler, J. (2013) https://wp.me/p4MbWx-1ug #archaeology #architecture #urbex #rurex #ruralireland #geography #photography #heritage #heritageireland #history #localhistory

If you're in #Galway City tomorrow evening (Wednesday January 16th), why not pop along to The Harbour Hotel on New Dock Street at 8pm where I'll be giving a talk about the Deserted School Houses of Ireland with the West of Ireland archaeological and historical society (WAHSOC). All welcome #archaeology #architecture #urbex #rurex #ruralireland #geography #photography #heritage #heritageireland #history #localhistory
