the old coastguard station

in Killybegs.  This is where we are going to move in the next few weeks.  I will be offline for a bit so I will see you all when we get connected again. 
About the station:  it was built in 1875 and has five individual cottages plus the tower.  It's a lovely place and in front is a garden for flowers and other plants and trees.  We are only renting one of the cottages.  Our friend lives in the tower and he and his wife did some intensive work and as a result got the building listed as a historical building.

beside the tower are the extensions (the white buildings) that were added later and are now rented out as houses.

Moville Coastguard Station

The Coastguard Station is about a 15 minute walk from Moville's Market Square.  The only info I found on the station was from the Coastguards of Yesterday website which is below.

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.
