Paddling Pool, Castle Field

Brixham

Although best known for its pebbled surface, low tide exposes a fair stretch of sand on Penarth Beach.
The imposing Greek portico is the east front of the Bank of Ireland, originally the entrance to the House of Lords of the Irish Parliament, erected by James Gandon in 1785.
In 1785 James Gandon added the east entrance (on the right of the picture) giving access to the House of Lords.
It was designed by James Gandon, and built between 1785-1802. Its most magnificent feature is the great dome. Like the Customs House, it was gutted by fire in the civil war, but was later restored.

A famous Dublin landmark, Cooley and Gandon's magnificent Four Courts, built in 1785 and gutted by fire in the Civil War of 1922. Restored, it opened again for business in October 1931.
The now much enlarged thatched house on the right is the only Bridge Inn building standing today; the left-hand one has been demolished.
These charming houses are at the east end of the quay; the left-hand one, Ferry House, is a reminder of the Colne ferry that crossed the river here. To the right are the cranes of a boatyard.
