This week, the Irish Aesthete marks its 12th birthday. As always, such an anniversary always surprise, not least because when this site was inaugurated, the question most often asked was ‘How long before you run out of material?’ There was no answer to that query at the time, and there isn’t one now. Since 2012, the Irish Aesthete has covered a considerable range of buildings, eras and styles across all 32 of the island’s counties; herewith a dozen images from previous Septembers to illustrate this point. Some of them are in perfect condition, others in varying stages of Ireland (as is so often the case here). But so much of the country’s architectural heritage remains to be discovered and discussed, and that’s what lies ahead: whether for one or 12 years, the journey goes on. As always, thank you to all friends and followers for continuing to travel around Ireland with the Irish Aesthete. Your company and interest remains enormously important and greatly appreciated. And so we go forward.
