Killashandra Convent, Ireland - July 2009

Lots of history here


Killeshandra convent is quite an oppressive, trashed place, but once I settled into it I found it quite peaceful and photogenic








Basement


The ruined chapel






The stairs are really nice, with pink granite steps


Luckily the rest of the building has concrete floors, so won't suffer the same fate




Inside the original 'Drummully House' building, which has very rotten wooden floors


This corridor was very dark and dingy, I had to do a 2 minute exposure just to make use of the little natural light coming in through the bricked up windows, even then I had to do a little post-editing

Excellant find Lost,with great pics that show just how fooked it is.

Great site, explore and report - Lost nice one thanks for sharing.

it has such an interesting history its a real shame its in such a state,
nice photos bw!

Great find there! Some fantastic shots..

Ah you found it then. Nice work.

Aye it was pretty easy to find, looming over the town.

What in imposing place, I think the dark stone helps to give it an almost prison feel, great set of photos there, I had to do a double take on the stairwell one to get my orientation right

Very nice - pity roofs gone - some nice mine stuff in that area too.

Thats the place from the awful film Schrooms. You should watch it just for this place.

You know I thought I recognised the name, it's not that far from where my Mother came from and relations still live. Nice one though shame it's in sutch a state.

Begorrah and top of the morning you you. You have been a busy wee boy (OK maybe not wee) on the Emerald Isle, Lost. Some nice finds there, well done
