Holiday at Hollybrook House, Co Sligo 1938

[anfearnog]

hah, great video, I recently did some work at the laundry house of this estate and have to confess to having a quick snoop over at Hollybrook house. Amazing spot great to see it in full grandeur. Must have been very hard to maintain a building of that size

What a beautiful film to me as this estate was my grandfather's family estate prior to, and I enjoyed watching it full of life and enjoyment. I have only ever seen pictures and paintings. It saddens me that it has been left to ruin. Thank you. Any other pictures/films, ect.of Hollybrook pls send my way!!!

Excellent, know this place well now, it is a pity it wouldn't be done up for a hotel again. Fabulous to have such clear footage. Thank you so much for sharing it.
