Clonsilla Lodge
WEHS are the initial of Captain William Edward Hollwey Steeds, and the lodge was built during his tenure as owner of Clonsilla House (demolished and replaced with Portersgate) this is one of the last remaining link to the Hollwey Steeds family, famous horse breeders and linked to the ‘Clonsilla Poisoning’ of 1887. It was built in 1897.
FCC has granted permission for the demolition of this old building, and since then the building has succumbed to a number of arson attacks, and is currently in a bad state of repair.
