Roselawn Cemetery

Roselawn Cemetery is a large cemetery and crematorium on the outskirts of Belfast in Northern Ireland. It opened in 1954. It is owned and operated by Belfast City Council. It is located on the Ballygowan Road. History Roselawn Cemetery was laid out in 1952 as a ‘lawn’ cemetery and the ground was formally consecrated in 1954. Roses (traditional flowering shrubs, used extensively in cemeteries) were planted along the main driveway, giving the site its name. In 1961, the City of Belfast Crematorium, the first of its kind in Northern Ireland, opened its doors, with the first cremation taking place in July 1961. Land has been added over the years, and the site has been landscaped with lakes to make it more appealing to visitors. The surface area has been estimated at a little less than 300 acres, which would make it the largest municipal cemetery in the United Kingdom. The cemetery contains the remains of an ancient ráth or ringfort, which is believed to be from the Iron Age or early Christian period. Notable interments It has been estimated that there are between 43,000 and 44,000 memorial plaques. The site contains graves connected to the Troubles, including those of police and prison officers, soldiers and victims of the Abercorn Restaurant, Oxford Street and La Mon House Hotel bombings.

Rossbeigh

Rossbeigh, or Rossbehy (Irish: Ros Beithe, meaning 'headland of the birch trees'), is a sandspit with beaches on either side, located approximately 1.6 km from the village of Glenbeigh, in County Kerry, Ireland. It is on the Ring of Kerry, on the Dingle Bay side of the Iveragh Peninsula. Rossbeigh contains a large volume of sand dunes and herbaceous vegetation. It is considered an important habitat for flora and fauna, including wildfowl (salmon and clam are locally farmed). The beach is on the Wild Atlantic Way tourist route. Geography Rossbeigh, along with the further inshore Cromane strand in the Castlemaine Harbour, and Inch Strand off the Dingle Peninsula (an equally long spit with an equally complex and unstable sand dune systems), is one of three sandspits acting as natural barriers against the Atlantic Ocean for Dingle Bay, which is relatively narrow and subject to strong wave forces and deposition of sediment. Erosion During the early 2000s, slow but prolonged erosion caused by changes in tidal range, wave height and length, and a reduction in sediment deposits, lead to the receding of some of the dunes. Rossbeigh was breached during a winter 2008 storm when a 1200 ft sand dune was collapse by the sea, splitting the former two-mile sandspit into two, effectively making the outer part of the spit a tidal island. The Rossbeigh Strand Tower, which had been a landmark to Castlemaine Harbour for over 100 years, collapsed in February 2011. The tower has since been moved to the nearby village of Glenbeigh and restored. As the split acts as a divide from Dingle bay, the collapse was described in 2020 as putting "homes across the bay at risk as climate change threatened even more frequent extreme events." However, Jimmy Murphy, of the School of Engineering at University College Cork was optimistic that dunes would begin to build back up. In 2020 he said: "people think when you get erosion that the sand disappears, but the sand has to go somewhere. It is deposited — about 10m tonnes — further out, and we feel it will make its way back. There is a huge amount of sand sitting out there, and...we think...that it will eventually make its way back in here and you will get your dunes reforming".

Rossenarra House

Rossenarra House is a country house situated in Rossenarra, Demesne, formerly Castlehale and Snugsborough, near Kilmoganny in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It is claimed in local lore to have been designed by the architect James Hoban, who was also responsible for designing the White House in Washington, D.C. History 17th century (Castlehale) Originally a stronghold of the Walsh of the Mountains clan, it was known as Castlehale, Castle Hoel or Castlehowel. In the 17th century, the Walshes took up arms against Oliver Cromwell and as a result in 1650, the castle was besieged and the survivors were executed. During the 19th century their remains were found when a road was constructed. 19th century The house was built between 1819 and 1824 in the Palladian style, commissioned by William Morris-Reade, the owner of a large estate of some 7,000 acres near Kilmoganny. The most likely designers were George R. Paine, who had worked in 1823 for Morris-Reade's relation, the 1st Baron Carew, or Miles Kearney of Piltown, whose widow Ellen sued Morris-Reade's widow for monies owed in 1850. The house passed to his second son Frederick Richard Morris-Reade, who was born in 1833 at Rossenarra but died as a pauper in the workhouse at Michelstown in County Cork in 1898. In 1850 and again in 1852 the whole estate and house was offered for sale by the Incumbent Estates Courts due to bankruptcy following the "Great Hunger" with some 1,500 acres being bought by the Morris family. 20th century Between 1901 and 1903, it came into the possession of the McEnery family who had been tenants of the house and some 1,000-odd acres of the remaining Reade Estates. It was sold to them by the Morris Reade descendants of Frederick Richard Morris-Reade's elder brother who were resident in Canada and where they still live. Sir John Lavery, the Irish artist celebrated for his portraits resided at Rossenarra during the last few years of his life and died there on 10 January 1941, having been cared for by his stepdaughter Alice McEnery, (née Trudeau) (1904-1991), daughter of his second wife Hazel Lavery. The house was also for a time the home of the American author Richard Condon, who wrote The Manchurian Candidate and Prizzi's Honor. Condon lived in Rossenarra from 1971 until he returned to the United States in 1980. During this time, famous guests to the house included Mick Jagger and Frank Sinatra. The title of Condon's memoir, And Then We Moved to Rossenarra, published in 1973, refers to his time there. The most recent residents of the house were American tycoon Walter Griffith and his Irish-born wife, Christine.

Rotten Island Lighthouse

Rotten Island Lighthouse (Irish: Teach Solais An tOileán Bréan) is a harbour light to light the passage from St. John's Point to inner channel and past the rocks to the anchorage within Killybegs Harbour, Donegal Bay, Ireland. It is operated by the Commissioners of Irish Lights. History The Inspecting Commander of the Coastguard wrote to the Ballast Board on 21 April 1832 recommending that a light be placed on Drumanoo Point. George Halpin, Inspector to the Ballast Board, agreed that a light was necessary but he recommended Rotten Island instead. The Ballast Board then approved a light in 1833 and Statutory Sanction was obtained from Trinity House. Design and construction The lighthouse and keepers' houses were designed by George Halpin and the works were carried out by the Board's workers under his inspection. The conical tower of cut granite was painted white. The original light was a fixed white catoptric third order lens pointed to land 66 feet above high water and visible in clear weather for 12 miles. It was first exhibited on 1 September 1838 before completion. The cost at the end of 1839 amounted to £8,697.19s.4d. On 15 September 1836 three men drowned while returning from work on the rock as their boat capsized. Changes In 1910 the fixed light was changed to a fifth order dioptric lens, flashing with a character of one flash every three seconds. This new light was introduced on 13 December 1910. The station was automated on 7 January 1959 and the dioptric lens with its revolving machine and vaporised paraffin incandescent burner were replaced by a new fourth order cylindric refractor lens. Its mantle light source used dissolved acetylene from a battery of cylinders giving a candlepower of 2,600 white light and 500 in the red sector. This appeared to be worse than the old light and mariners using the harbour complained about the new lens. The light was converted to electric on 1 February 1963 which increased the candlepower to 13,000 white and 2,600 in the red sector of the light. The character though remained the same, one flash every three seconds. If the electricity supply fails, an automatic changeover to batteries comes into operation and an acetylene standby can be fitted if the battery standby fails. The character was changed to one flash every four seconds on 1 February 1965. See also List of lighthouses in Ireland References "Rotten Island". Commissioners of Irish Lights. Rowlett, Russ.

Phare de Rotten Island

Le phare de Rotten Island est un phare situé l'île de Rotten Island, en baie de Donegal, pour guider vers le port de Killybegs du Comté de Donegal (Irlande). Il est géré par les Commissioners of Irish Lights (CIL). Histoire Le commandement du Her Majesty's Coastguard demanda le 21 avril 1832 qu'une lumière soit placée sur Drumanoo Point. George Halpin (en), inspecteur des services a convenu qu'une lumière était nécessaire, mais il a recommandé Rotten Island. Trinity House approuva cette demande en 1833. Le phare et les maisons des gardiens ont été conçus par George Halpin et les travaux ont été effectués sous son inspection. La tour conique tronqué de granit haute de 14 m a est peinte en blanc. La lumière d'origine était un objectif catroptique de troisième ordre, à une élévation de 50 m au-dessus de l'eau et visible par temps clair sur 12 milles. Il a été mis en fonction le 1er septembre 1838 avant l'achèvement total des travaux. Le 15 septembre 1836, trois hommes se sont noyés sur le rocher, en revenant du travail, lors d'un chavirage. En 1910, la lumière fixe a été changée par une lentille dioptrique de cinquième ordre, d'un flash clignotant toutes les trois secondes à partir du 13 décembre 1910. La station a été automatisée le 7 janvier 1959 avec une lentille dioptrique de quatrième ordre avec réfracteur cylindrique. La puissance de la lumière ne convenant pas, elle a été convertie à électricité le 1er février 1963 avec un flash toutes les trois secondes. Le 1re février 1965 le flash est passé à toutes les 4 secondes. Elle n'est accessible que par bateau.

Royal Cork Yacht Club

Der Royal Cork Yacht Club (deutsch: Königlicher Yachtclub Cork) gilt mit seiner Gründung im Jahre 1720 nach eigenen Aussagen als der älteste Segelverein der Welt. Dieser Titel wird ihm vom 1718 gegründeten Neva Yacht Club aus Sankt Petersburg, Russland, streitig gemacht, der aber nicht durchgehend bestand. Der Yachtclub hat heute seinen Sitz in Crosshaven, Irland. Geschichte Der Segelverein wurde 1720 vom William O’Brien, 4. Earl of Inchiquin mit fünf Freunden als The Water Club of the Harbour of Cork gegründet. Die Gründungslegende besagt, dass dessen Urgroßvater als Höfling von Karl II. die Segelbegeisterung des Monarchen teilte und nach seiner Rückkehr nach Irland den Segelsport nach Cork brachte. Karl II. lernte den Segelsport Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts in den Niederlanden kennen, als er sich dort im Exil befand. Nach seiner Rückkehr auf den englischen Thron betrieb er mit einem aus den Niederlanden gekauften Boot Segelsport auf der Themse. Erster Stützpunkt des Clubs war die Hawlbowline Island im Hafen von Cork. 1806 ging man nach Cobh, als die Royal Navy die Insel für sich beanspruchte. Um diese Zeit wechselte auch der Name zu Cork Harbour Water Club, um sich nach 1820 in Cork Harbour Yacht Club und wenig später in Cork Yacht Club umzubenennen. Im Jahre 1831 verlieh König Wilhelm IV. dem Club das Privileg, sich königlich nennen zu dürfen und aus dem Verein wurde der Royal Cork Yacht Club. In den 1960er-Jahren erfolgte der Umzug zum heutigen Standort und die Fusionierung mit dem Royal Munster Yacht Club. Organisation Die Regattawoche Cork Week wird seit 1978 vom Club organisiert und findet regelmäßig alle zwei Jahre im Juni oder Juli statt.

Royal Hospital, Donnybrook

The Royal Hospital, Donnybrook (Irish: Ospidéal Ríoga, Domhnach Broc) is a hospital in Donnybrook, Dublin, Ireland, founded in 1743. It was originally set up as a "hospital for incurables" to provide sufferers with food, shelter and relief from their distressing conditions. History In Georgian Dublin there were a number of charitable music societies that raised money to alleviate the suffering of the poor and ill. There was no system of public welfare, nor, until much later, any general policy on the part of the government to alleviate the problem of poverty, which pervaded the city at that time. One of these societies was the Dublin Charitable Musical Society of Crow Street, the leading light of which was Richard Wesley, 1st Baron Mornington, a politician (MP for Trim 1729-1746) and amateur violinist who took part in charity concerts. Fleet Street The society decided in 1743 to donate their funds to set up and support a hospital for incurables. A house for this purpose was rented in Fleet Street, fitted up, and opened, with a nurse, a staff of doctors and surgeons, and 23 patients as the "Hospital for Incurables, Dublin" on 23 May 1744. In the early years of the hospital, the doctors included Francis Le Hunte (from County Wexford, a founder-member of the Royal Dublin Society). Townsend Street The hospital moved to Townsend Street in 1753. An illustration of this hospital features in the Dublin magazine in April 1762. Donnybrook (1793) In 1793 the hospital exchanged location with the Lock Hospital, which suited both hospitals and moved to Donnybrook, a suburb of the city. It was remodelled by James Rawson Carroll between 1887 and 1894 and also received a Royal Charter and became the "Royal Hospital for Incurables, Dublin" in 1887. In the 1980s it started to specialise in rehabilitation for the elderly and services for young disabled adults and, at that time, was renamed the "Royal Hospital, Donnybrook".
