Lost Ireland: 1860–1960 presents a panoramic sweep of Ireland’s forgotten built heritage. From war and insurrection, to prosperity anddevelopment, the changes wrought by history have meant that a whole swathe of our built past no longer survives, save through the magic of the camera lens. Drawing on a variety of photographic archives, this book offers a wide sample of what was lost to these changes: the humble mud huts of the transient labourer, and the ‘thatched mansions’ of the prosperous farmer; the edifices of industrial innovation and technology; the grand homes of the well-to-do, including the infamous ‘big house’.
