Légende

Goldsmith's House, Lissoy, 1845. The childhood home of Irish writer and dramatist Oliver Goldsmith: 'About six miles from Athlone, in the County Longford, is situated the small, wretched-looking village of Lissoy...'. The house '...a mere shell, unroofed and shattered, little trace of the once trim garden, and retaining but a few trees of the once shady avenue. The house and the whole village are as dirty, desolate, and lonely as any in Ireland'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
