Old Castle, Dromore: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the Old Castle in Dromore, County Down, Northern Ireland, as it stood in the early 1900s. The castle, now a derelict ruin, is set against the backdrop of the bustling town, offering a poignant reminder of the rich history that lies within its walls. The image showcases the castle's grandeur despite its state of disrepair. The towering structure, with its intricate stonework and imposing gates, once served as a symbol of power and protection for the community.
