Meath Picture Game.

Archeron · 2008-02-09 18:10:26

Shamelessly stolen and copied from the Dublin forum, (I tip my hat towards Exit for his idea), I thought it would be an idea to see if a similar game could take off in the Meath forum. Basically, the idea is to post a photo of a place somewhere around County Meath. It has to give some idea as to where it may be, so not…

Not Bective Abbey I'm afraid, but when you say that, I can see the resemblance alright.

Yeah, the large tree next to Bective had me convinced! I'm all curious now to see who gets it.

This place has a recent history.

Its in the southern end of the county

Seemingly it was constructed in the late 50s when there was some mineral explorations in the Enfield postal district.

Nobody seemed to be getting this, so I'll disclose the location on umpire bat's behalf.

Despite the flues and the ramshackle appearance, it's a church. It was built a couple of miles outside Summerhill on the Rathmolyon Road in the mid-20th century. It was neither RC nor CoI, but belonged to some obscure Christian denomination whose adherents were a mineral exploration crowd sent over from the States.

Here's the aerial view

I'm not putting this up as a guess - it's obviously Trim, but thought I'd share it here. Not one of mine but taken by the wife yesterday evening.
