About the Book

Full Colour Paperback Edition: The Story of Dunmore East As far back as the Iron Age people established a promontory fort overlooking the sea at Shanoon (referred to in 1832 as meaning the 'Old Camp' but more likely Canon Power's Sean Uaimh, 'Old Cave') at a point known for centuries as Black Nobb, where the old pilot station now stands in Dunmore East. Hence forth referred to as Dún Mór, the Great Fort. In 1812 a decision was made at Westminster to create an entirely new landing point for passengers and mail coming to Ireland from London and southern England. The location selected was Dunmore East and £118,000 was set aside for the erection of a pier there. In 1814 dramatic changes took place when Alexander Nimmo, the Scottish engineer (builder of Limerick's Sarsfield Bridge) commenced work on the new harbour at Dunmore to accommodate the packet station for ships, which carried the Royal Mail between England and Ireland. The work consisted mainly of a massive pier or quay with an elegant lighthouse at the end. Nimmo's original estimate had been £20,000 but at the time of his death in 1832 about £93,000 had been spent and the final cost was £108,000. The great sheltered harbour then constructed meant that Dunmore East was to gradually become an important fishing port. It also then developed into a very popular tourist resort and it is now a favourite port of call for large cruise liners visiting the south east of Ireland. This short book includes photographs of the village, harbour and key attractions as they now stand.Such as Hook Lighthouse Loftus Hall Dunmore East Lighthouse The Lower Village The Park The Strand Wildlife Counsellors Strand The Harbour Killea Catholic Church The Village Pump The School Azzurro The Haven Hotel St Andrews Church The Spinnaker The Fire Station Hayes Pub Water Sports Killea Along with detail of two local walks (1)Dunmore East Coastal Walk (2) Dunmore Woods Walk
