EIRE74 – Croghy Head

(Conor Corbett)

This sign has recently been restored and I do not have an aerial photograph of it yet. However, I have received a number of photographs of the restored sign, and the work in progress to restore it for which I am very grateful to the three photographers concerned whose names you’ll find under their photographs.

Malin Head has been restored since these aerial photographs were done. You can read a report on the restoration here – the restoration was done in 2015. It looks beautiful, far better than it did when I saw it as a child.

Also Atlas Obscura has written up the renovation of this sign here.

Added August 2018 from the Conor Corbett collection of photos:

Two signs were built on Slieve League, of which all that remains is this part next to a carpark.

This sign is almost impossible to see on the aerial photographs but it has been renovated at some point.
