the coastguard station ardmore

This building was constructed on the Odell Estate for the coastguards in 1867. It was continually manned until the Civil War in 1922. In 1921 it was abandoned by the Coastguard. It was taken over by the republicans on independence and subsequently burnt down. It was the second coastguard station in Ardmore, the first one at the Ardmore end of the Strand became a victim of coastal erosion.
