Patton family-Killeshandra

[despatton]

I can't be certain on the address.  I was looking at google street view and no specific house rang a bell (things change).  However, I'm pretty sure it was in close proximity to the KCR filling station at kimmage cross;

Is this the school that is referred to in previous posts? National School, Killashandra - photograph taken in the 1950's.

Comparing the photos, it would appear to be the same building as referred to previously.  However, I can't say if this school was referred to as the 'National School'.

My late mum went to school in Killashandra.

Does anyone recognise this photograph? in our album it is described as "Owen's Cottage" - I think it was a gate lodge on a large estate in Killashandra, a few years ago when we went back it was almost still standing.

This is the Manse, Killashandra - where our family lived in the 1930's/1940's they were self sufficient and grew their own vegtables - does anyone remember the Manse?
