Another Imperial Plate from the Lawrence Collection and yet another fairy castle similar to Castle Freke. A real retro structure in County Down looks like it has been built by a wannabee Lord rather than an historic fortification - though that may be my lack of knowledge rather than reality?

Per wikipedia, the castle has fallen into the hands of the false Mr. Tayto, the Northern pretender.

A few years later than this photo, Trove has this fascinating story about 20 year=old Miss Magdalen King-Hall (daughter of Admiral Sir George King-Hall), who was responsible for "The Cleverest Hoax of the Century", 'The Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion in the Year 1764-65'.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]] Thanks. Associated Wikidata item is Q7272441 and I've improved that from the information below . I'm sort of getting my head around the that Northern Island Historical Map Viewer comes under a different Historic Map Viewer than both England and the Republic of Ireland (and possibly Wales and Scotland too for all I know). I've managed to home in on
Quinton CastleQuintin Castle and determined NIEA building id ref seems to be HB24/01/079 and the listed building database entry seems to hold a fair bit of info.Niall McAuley
https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland Seems to be spelled Quintin Castle everywhere except the catalogue?

I've also got the image landed into a nice new Wikipedia Commons category for Quintin Castle . Sweet. If the link to the HB24/01/079 was visible that would be a better job.

for years I thought that there was only one Tayto and now my life is diminished as I learn that Tandragee was an interloper
