An #abandoned #classroom now filled with hay bales in Tryhill National School near #ballygar in Co. #galway This school was built c. 1830. The scale of this former national school is testament to the high regard for the #education of the local #community both boys and girls. A two-storey building, it is unusual insofar as the boys were educated on one floor and the girls on the other, instead of in separate parts of the same floor. Though meant to be multi-denominational, the keystone above the door has been fashioned into a crude cross, a subtle signal of the school's Catholic leaning. Once an important social centre for the local residents, this former #schoolhouse is of social and architectural significance to the area.
