OK, so Newtown estate, Avondale, Glendale & Glendale Meadows didn't exist at that point. The lane went up past St Marys Park & continued up between farmland on both sides, and then turned left and came back to the road opposite what is now Leixlip (Confey) Library - at that time it was Rahills House. In a field on the right, just where the lane turned to the left stood the house. There were large iron gates leading into it, but I cannot recall a roadway and the house was on the far side of the stream and I can't recall if there was a bridge over the stream, we use to just jump it. I think a family named Flynn lived there at one stage. I've no connection whatsoever to this house, I just remember it from childhood and would love a photo and some information on it. As I already said, it was a ruin when I was a child. I now live near Carlow, and recently saw a painting which reminded me greatly of this house, if I can get a photo I'll upload it and see does it bring any memories to mind. I'm really dependent on the older generation here.
Fingers crossed a photo will show up.
Sams mam.
