Cathedral Spire, Ballaghaderreen
Cathedral Spire, Ballaghaderreen
This image was taken to capture the impressive spire which along with a new sacristy and bells was added to the tower in 1912. The gable fronted cathedral, built in 1855 was designed by a firm of English architects - Matthew Hadfield William Goldie and J. G. Weightman. The 1912 additional work was designed by W. H. Byrne. Skilled craftsmen were employed to carry out the work on this richly embellished cathedral. In the 1970's the gardens, hedges and trees, which softened the stark architecture of the cathedral, were unfortunately removed to make way for carparks. The card was posted in Ballaghaderin from the Monica Duff Post Office.
