It's always nice to hear from people with a connection to Fivemiletown. Thanks to Stephen Williamson for the photos from Colebrooke and Cavanaleck, and his message below.
"Revisited the gate lodge at the Enniskillen Road end of the Colebrook estate today. So sad to see it having fallen into an irreparable condition. Family connections as my mother spent her early childhood in this huse, as her father as the gamekeeper for the estate. Would have been in the early 1940s. Obviously no mo 'ney in renovating this gate house, unlike the one on the other side of the estate. So sad.
Also visited Cavanalack Presbyterian church, on a reminiscing sort of day. My mother was christened, went to Sunday school, and got married here. Now her spiritual resting place as well."
