I was killing time in the sunshine and spotted this picturesque-from-a-distance
historic building which looked more interesting than the housing estates around it. Reverse image search returned some entertaining but very wrong suggestions, like Athy Railway Station. However a bit searching les to
an internet page which calls it the old, very old clubrooms at Glenina that has "a
preservation order which has caused headaches to Galwegian
[rugby club] administrators, planners and dreamers ever since [1963]"
At first I thought I was a converted large family home which would have a
name and a web-page somewhere describing it. But on closer
inspection, it's just not right for a historic home. My guess is that it was probably built
as a rugby clubrooms, and complete with lots of behind the scenes dressing rooms and the like.
