Once It's Gone , It's Forever
16th May 2015


A sombre thought as the Blog nears its 2nd Anniversary. Almost right from the get go , we have been witness to 3 demolitions of iconic Togher landmarks. First , Ardmanning House off Togher Road was erased from all living memory in the Summer of 2013 ; next up a perhaps not so well known Big House off Matthew Hill - Woulfe House - demolished late 2014 and latest casualty the coach-house style Feirm Bawn up from Togher Cross April 2015. That's all in the space of less than 2 years! We have to act now before even more of our heritage sees the wrecking ball. Remember once it's gone , it's gone forever!
