My daughter Babs has just opened a pottery and coffee shop in the former stables and courtyard. It is opened from Wednesday to Sunday AND ALL ARE WELCOME.<br />The statue of Aclibiades in the haunts of dissipation is no longer ( can anyone trace? I would love a photo) However for 20 years the basement was a restaurant known as MacDuffs. Anyone remember eating here? Famous for its late hours and fine-dining it became Aghadowey`s more recent "Haunt of Dissipation"<br />Keep up the good work your Lordship.<br />Ken Belshaw<br />PS look up Blackheath Pottery on Google MapsKen Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974923460136491598noreply@blogger.com
