Fotografie Gosford Castle

Gosford Castle, Northern Ireland od joysmith7mr

Having been handed down from father to son over the generations, the fourth Earl of Gosford was first of all forced to sell off the library to pay racing debts, and eventually, in 1921, the remaining contents had to go. During the Second World War, the castle was commandeered. It was used first by the British Army, then by the Americans, and a prisoner-of-war camp was set up in the grounds. The estate remained in the Gosford family until after the Second World War. At various times the castle was used as winter quarters for a travelling circus and as a store for the Public Record Office. Eventually, in 1958, it was acquired by the Northern Ireland Forestry Commission. The Army was once again stationed in the Castle in the 1970s during the recent Troubles. In 1978 a 99-year lease was granted to a consortium of businessmen whose intention it was to restore and convert it into a luxury hotel. For a time it was opened as a restaurant and night-club, but it was forced to close again. Info from <a href="http://www.gosford.co.uk/index.html" rel="nofollow">www.gosford.co.uk/index.html</a>
