In April 1901 Father got promoted and we moved to Coastguard Station Moville on the north shore of Lough Foyle in the Innishowen peninsula. The Coastguard Station Moville contained 14 families in two blocks of seven cottages. Today they are holiday homes.
What a handsome building. It was obviously built to last and seems well cared-for.

Big and stately, here the Coastguard Stations are white with red roofs.
ReplyDeleteLooks sturdy!
ReplyDeleteLoved the link and the comment that narrator was "unlucky to die, too much spirit." I am a little confused on dates. On your post, who is the "Father" who was promoted? Love the building and am pleased that it has been so well-maintained.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the "Father" mentioned was the father of Bernard William Wheyman. That article stated that was an extract of the autobiography of Bernard William Wheyman.
DeleteThat's a most interesting building with an interesting history.
ReplyDeleteI agree, a fine strong building Bill, would the sea be just off to the left there?

ReplyDeleteIt's quite an impressive building, Bill!
ReplyDeleteA great building with friendly yellow doors!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. It is very interesting and I love the photo.
ReplyDeleteThe place has a military or even monastic austerity. Irish taste in holiday accommodations must be different from ours.
ReplyDeleteA maioria das pessoas não, mas eu aprecio muito céus cinzas, vejo beleza. A foto é bela, com bonito edifício.
