Turret Lodge Redevelopment

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project explored the viability of restoring Turret Lodge and subsequently planned and implemented the restoration work.

The project was delivered in 2 phases:

• Phase 1: Feasibility Study

• Phase 2: Construction

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION & OBJECTIVES

Turret Lodge is a notable landmark in Kilrush controlling access between the town and the Vandeleur Estate demesne. Kilrush House, the home of the Vandeleur family, was burned down in 1897, and only the lodges, walled garden and stable block survived the fire. Turret Lodge therefore holds significant historic value.

This project contributes to: 

• tourism

• infrastructure

(POTENTIAL) PROJECT STAKEHOLDERS

• Kilrush Town Team

• Kilrush Tidy Towns

• Kilrush and District Historical Society
