Metisse Support Cork's Rescue Camden Project
Article taken from HotPress
The county's Napoleonic fortress is being restored to its former glories. Metisse mainman Skully is currently on the flat of his back, painting, wiring, cleaning and scrubbing at Cork's Fort Camden. As he reveals to Hot Press, “I am part of the four-man Rescue Camden Group who have started the renovation of this beautiful, but sadly neglected Napoleonic fortress." Located on Rams Head near Crosshaven, the fort derives its name from the Earl of Camden who was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1795. In 1938 The British Navy marched out of the fortress for the last time, handing it over in pristine condition to the Irish Free State Army. "This is a Crosshaven Tourism project in conjunction with Cork County Council & Fas," reads their mission statement. "Despite best efforts, Fort Meagher has been vandalised, ransacked and defaced. Our aim is to clean and restore this magnificent fortress to its former glory and thus create a tourism and heritage centre which will not only become a huge attraction, locally, nationally and globally but will also create sustainable employment."
For anyone that might be interested; while at Fort Camden's Facebook site; I came upon a a site with a lot of Fort Camden info; but that's not all; it has Abandoned Castles, Estates, Forts and more all over Ireland, fantastic piece of history very well done....

He has renovated one of the huge shutters on his own, and helped with the restoration of (This) original flag pole.
