Knockmoy Abbey

Knockmoy Abbey (irisch Mainistir Chnoc Muaidhe; Collis victoriae) ist eine ehemalige Abtei der Zisterzienser im Dorf Abbeyknockmoy im County Galway in Irland. Sie liegt in einem offenen Tal etwa 11,0 km südöstlich von Tuam, nahe Knockroe, dem Ort einer Schlacht zwischen Iren und Normannen im Jahr 1189, die Cathal O’Connor (1153–1224) der letzte irische König von Connaught gewann. Die Abbey ist ein „National Monument“. Geschichte Das Kloster wurde 1190 vom König von Connacht gestiftet und gehörte als Tochterkloster von Boyle Abbey der Filiation der Primarabtei Clairvaux an. Der Stifter Cathal O’Connor starb 1224 in der Abtei. Wohl noch im Jahre 1224 ging von Knockmoy die Gründung von Clare Island Abbey aus. Knockmoy diente der Familie O’Connor einige Zeit als Mausoleum. Das Kloster gehörte niemals zu den reichen Abteien. Im Spätmittelalter kam es unter die Kontrolle der Familie O’Kelly, von der u. a. Malachy O’Kelly 1401 im Kloster bestattet wurde. Der Kommendatarabt Hugh O’Kelly übergab 1542 die Abtei an König Heinrich VIII. und erhielt sie dafür als Lehen auf Lebenszeit. Nach der Auflösung soll im Kloster eine Art „säkularisiertes Mönchtum“ bestanden haben. Bauten und Anlage Große Teile der kreuzförmigen Kirche und der Klausurgebäude sind erhalten, wenn sie auch Schaden durch den Kiesabbau in der Umgebung erlitten haben. An der Nordwand der Kirche befinden sich die Wandmalerei der drei toten und der drei lebenden Könige, mit der Untertitelung: We have been as you are, you shall be as we are. Die drei toten Könige, auch bekannt unter dem lateinischen Titel „De Tribus Regibus Mortuis“ oder als „Die drei lebenden und die drei Toten“, sind ein mittelenglisches Gedicht aus dem 15. Jahrhundert. Es wird in der Handschrift MS Douce 302 gefunden und seine Urheberschaft wird manchmal dem Shropshire-Priester, John Audelay (gest. 1426) von Haughmond Abbey zugeschrieben. Das Thema der „Drei Lebenden und die Drei Toten“ ist eine relativ häufige Form des Memento Mori der mittelalterlichen Kunst. Ein „Dit des trois morts und des trois vifs“ von Baudoin de Condé (get. 1280) wurde bis ins Jahr 1280 zurückverfolgt. Das Bild kommt auch als Wandmalerei in der Kirche Saint-Germain von La Ferté-Loupière vor. Literatur L.

Viadotto di Craigmore

Il viadotto di Craigmore (in inglese Craigmore Viaduct, in gaelico Tarbhealach Craig Mór) è un ponte ferroviario situato vicino a Bessbrook, contea di Armagh, Irlanda del Nord, chiamato localmente 18 Arches (18 archi) dal numero, come si evince, di archi che possiede. Attraversa la valle del fiume Camlough. Il ponte fu progettato dall'ingegnere civile John Benjamin Macneill e la realizzazione iniziò nel 1849, per la ferrovia Dublino e Belfast Junction. Fu completato e aperto nel 1852. È costituito da 18 archi con luce di 18,28 metri. Il punto più alto della struttura è di 38,4 metri, il che lo rende il viadotto più alto dell'Irlanda. La lunghezza del ponte, costruito con blocchi di granito proveniente dalla vicina cava di Goraghwood, raggiunge il quarto di miglio, all'incirca 402 metri. Serve la ferrovia Dublino–Belfast. . L'attentato Il 2 marzo 1989 una bomba piazzata dall'IRA durante il conflitto nordirlandese, danneggiò il viadotto, esplodendo circa quattro minuti prima che un treno-passeggeri proveniente da Dublino partisse dalla stazione di Newry. Il ponte rimase chiuso fino all'8 marzo 1989 per verifiche.. Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Viadotto di Craigmore
Craigmoreviaduct

Het Craigmoreviaduct (Iers: an Tarbhealach Craig Mór, oftewel de grote rots trans-weg) is een spoorbrug in de Noord-Ierse County Armagh nabij het dorp Bessbrook. De brug staat lokaal bekend als 18 Arches (18 bogen) en ligt vlak bij Station Newry. De Spoorlijn Dublin - Belfast overspant met de brug de vallei van de Camlough. Geschiedenis De spoorbrug is ontworpen door de Ierse civiel ingenieur John Benjamin Macneill. De bouw startte in 1849 voor de Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway, een spoorlijn geopend tussen 1849 en 1853 met een Ierse spoorwijdte van 1600 mm. De brug werd officieel geopend in 1852. Het viaduct bestaat uit achttien bogen met een overspanning van ongeveer 18 meter (60 feet), waarbij de hoogste 38 meter (126 feet) boven de grond staat. Hiermee is het viaduct het hoogste viaduct van Ierland. De brug heeft een lengte van 402 meter en is opgebouwd uit granietblokken uit de steengroeve Goraghwood. The Troubles Op 2 maart 1989, tijdens The Troubles, werd de brug beschadigd door een bom van de PIRA, slechts vier minuten voor een passagierstrein van Dublin naar Newry zou passeren. Herstel was nodig en de spoorlijn was gesloten tot 8 maart 1989.

Royal College of Physicians of Ireland

Das Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI, irisch Coláiste Ríoga Lianna na hÉireann) in Dublin sind ein Institut der irischen Ärzteschaft, das wie ihre Royal College Schwesterinstitute in Großbritannien (Royal College of Physicians, Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow) insbesondere der Weiterbildung dient. Sie vergeben wie diese nach Prüfungen ein Mitgliedschafts-Diplom (MRCPI), auch in verschiedenen Ländern im Ausland (Malaysia, Oman, Indien, Bahrein, Saudi-Arabien). Von der Mitgliedschaft ist die Wahl zur Fellowship zu unterscheiden. Es wurde 1654 gegründet und erhielt 1667 von König Karl II. königliche Weihen und nochmals 1692 eine Bestätigung durch William III. und Queen Mary, weshalb es bis 1890 King’s and Queen’s College of Physicians in Ireland hieß. Gründer war der Regius Professor am Trinity College (Dublin) John Stearne und ein Hauptziel war die Regulierung des Ärztestandes und dessen Ausbildung in Irland. Sitz ist ein 1864 fertiggestelltes klassizistisches Gebäude in der Kildare Street in Dublin. In Irland gibt es noch das Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, das auch eine universitäre medizinische Ausbildung anbietet. Weblinks Homepage
King's Bridge, Belfast

King's Bridge is a road bridge across the River Lagan in South Belfast, Northern Ireland. It opened in 1912 and is named after King George V. Made of reinforced concrete, it is believed to be the first road bridge of this type in Ireland. The bridge forms part of a one-way system along with the neighbouring Governor's Bridge. Together they connect the Stranmillis and Annadale Embankments, with King's Bridge carrying traffic from the former to the latter. History King's Bridge was built to connect Sunnyside Street to the east with Ridgeway Street to the west. Stranmillis and Annadale Embankments weren't built until the 1920s. It was constructed by W.J. Campbell & Son for Belfast Corporation to a design by the Trussed Concrete Steel Company of Westminster. It was originally intended to build the bridge at an angle across the river in line with the two streets, but this was ruled out by the Belfast Harbour Commissioners due to the greater effect this would have had on barge traffic. Structure The bridge uses the Kahn system of reinforced concrete, which consists of steel bars of a diamond cross section within the concrete. The bars are bent upwards to provide additional strength. It crosses the river in four spans, with a total span of 195 feet (59 m). The bridge has a width of 30 feet (9.1 m), with two traffic lanes, and a pavement on each side. King’s Bridge is a steel arch bridge incorporating reinforced concrete elements and granite-faced parapets. Its arches span the River Lagan and it is located near other crossings such as the Albert Bridge and Queen's Bridge. The bridge has an approximate total length of 200 feet. It includes pedestrian pathways on both sides, which are separated from the main roadway by cast-iron railings. The original design included integrated street lighting, and lamp posts styled in the period of construction remain in place.

Royal Irish Fusiliers Museum

The Royal Irish Fusiliers Museum is a military museum based in Sovereign's House at Armagh, Northern Ireland. The museum is a Grade B listed building. History The museum is located in a building which was built in the early 19th century on land previously owned by the church but leased by the Rt. Rev. William Newcome, Archbishop of Armagh, to the Sovereign and burgesses of the City of Armagh. Originally a residential property, it was converted for use as a museum and opened to the public in 1997. Collection The collection includes the Victoria Crosses awarded to Private Robert Morrow and to Lieutenant Geoffrey Cather of the Royal Irish Fusiliers on the Western Front during the First World War. Other highlights include a model demonstrating how Ensign Edward Keogh and Sergeant Patrick Masterson of the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot captured a French Imperial Eagle at the Battle of Barrosa in March 1811 during the Peninsular War. The Eagle itself has been lost but the staff on which it had been placed is still held by the museum. References
Coleraine Town Hall

Coleraine Town Hall is a municipal structure in The Diamond in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The town hall, which was the headquarters of Coleraine Borough Council, is a Grade B1 listed building. History The current building was commissioned to replace an earlier market house which was financed by The Honourable The Irish Society and completed in 1743. In the 1840s, after the market house became dilapidated, civic leaders decided to construct a new town hall on the same site. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 21 July 1857. It was designed by Thomas Turner in the Italianate style and built in ashlar stone by McLaughlin & Harvey at a cost of £4,147, with the majority of the funds again coming from The Honourable The Irish Society. Its completion coincided with the 1859 Ulster revival: "nearly one hundred persons agonised in mind through conviction of sin, and entirely prostrate in body, were borne into the building to obtain shelter" on the day of its first public opening, 9 June 1859. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing west onto The Diamond; the central bay, which slightly projected forward, featured a five-stage tower with a chamfered round headed window on the ground floor flanked by small casement windows on curved walls which swept round to the side elevations. The second stage of the tower featured a mullioned window flanked by blank oculi in bays which were well recessed. The third stage of the tower was Baroque in appearance with pilasters supporting segmental pediments, while the fourth stage featured a clock and the fifth stage displayed a lantern with a cupola. The unionist politician, Hugh T. Barrie, became the first person to sign the Ulster Covenant at the town hall in protest against the Third Home Rule Bill introduced by the British Government in 1912. A stained glass window, depicting four local scenes, which was made by Campbell Brothers Belfast to commemorate the tercentenary of The Honourable The Irish Society, was installed in the town hall in 1913. The town was advanced to the status of municipal borough, with the town hall as its headquarters, in 1928. The town hall continued to serve as a meeting place for Coleraine Borough Council until it moved to new offices on Portstewart Road in the mid-1970s. The town hall subsequently became a venue for events and exhibitions. On 13 November 1992 the Provisional Irish Republican Army detonated a 500 pounds (230 kg) van bomb in the town centre: substantial property damage was caused, leading to several major buildings being demolished, but no one was killed. The town hall required major structural work, and was not reopened until August 1995. A commemorative window to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II was installed in the town hall in 2003. Other works of art include busts by Walter Merrett of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. Queen Elizabeth II visited the town hall and laid a wreath to commemorate the start of the First World War on 25 June 2014. See also List of Grade B+ listed buildings in County Londonderry References
St. Patrick's Church, Coleraine

St. Patrick's Church is a Church of Ireland parish church within the Diocese of Connor. Located in the town of Coleraine in Northern Ireland, it is protected as a Grade B+ listed building. History St. Patrick’s Church is said to have been established by St. Patrick, after a local chieftain offered him a site for a church on the north bank of the River Bann in the 5th century. Patrick is said to have chosen a spot covered in ferns, giving rise to the name Cuil Raithin (or 'ferny retreat') which became the name of the town of Coleraine. A church is known to have existed on the site from at least the medieval period. Architecture The building was remodelled in a Victorian Gothic Revival style with elements of detailing which include some examples of Celtic Revival devices, such as the application of shamrock motifs, by architect Sir Thomas Drew between 1883 and 1885., References
Wellbrook Beetling Mill

Wellbrook Beetling Mill is a restored 19th-century water-powered linen finishing mill located in a woodland setting along the Ballinderry River near Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Operated by the National Trust, it is the last functioning beetling mill in the United Kingdom that remains open to the public on weekends during July and August as part of a guided tour. History The site originated as a linen bleaching works in 1764, established by Hugh Faulkner and his brother. In the 1830s, James Irwin acquired the property and redeveloped it into a beetling mill, replacing earlier structures with the buildings that stand today. The Leeper family took ownership in 1864, sourcing linen from local producers such as Gunning and Moore’s Milburn Factory and exporting finished cloth to markets including New Zealand and Australia. During the First World War, the mill contributed to the war effort by producing linen and flax in large quantities. Operations declined in the mid-20th century due to the growing use of synthetic fabrics, and the mill closed in 1961. In 1967, the site and surrounding land were gifted to the National Trust by local landowner S.J. Henderson. Following restoration, the mill opened to the public on 19 June 1970. Features The site includes a 16-foot water wheel and original beetling machinery, which are demonstrated during guided tours. Visitors can also explore woodland trails, view a traditional mill worker’s cottage, and participate in educational programs focused on Ulster’s linen industry. Significance The Mill is a rare surviving example of the region’s industrial heritage and offers insight into the social and economic history of linen production in Northern Ireland. It remains the only publicly accessible beetling mill in the UK. See also Water wheel Industrial archaeology Flax Mill Textile Finishing Irish linen Linen Beetling References
Omagh Courthouse

Omagh Courthouse is a judicial facility in High Street, Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is a Grade B+ listed building. History The building, which was designed by John Hargrave in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1814. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage facing the High Street; the central section featured a tetrastyle portico with Tuscan order columns supporting a frieze and a pediment containing a clock. A carving depicting the Royal coat of arms was installed at the apex of the pediment. It was extended to the south with five extra bays to the designs of William Joseph Barre of Newry in 1863. The building was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place for Tyrone County Council. In the 1960s, county leaders decided that the courthouse was too cramped to accommodate the county council in the context of the county council's increasing administrative responsibilities, especially while the courthouse was still acting as a facility for dispensing justice, and therefore chose to move to County Hall, conveniently located a short distance to the north east of the courthouse on the north side of the River Strule, in 1962. On 15 August 1998 there was a car bomb attack by the dissident Irish republican paramilitary group, the Real Irish Republican Army: the intended target had been the courthouse, but because the driver was unable to find a parking space in front of the building he parked the car in Market Street, roughly 365 yards (334 m) to the east the courthouse, killing 29 people (including a woman pregnant with twins) and injuring some 220 others. The clock, which had stopped working in 2013, was finally repaired, after the Courts and Tribunals Service had found the necessary funding, in early 2019. In November 2020 the justice minister, David Ford, said that he accepted an inspection report recommending that the Omagh Courthouse should be designated a "satellite court" in a proposed rationalisation of the court system.
