Lost buildings of Greystones

Colin Love

Introduction
G
reystones abounds with fine buildings, but, over the years,
and for numerous reasons, parts of the built heritage have
disappeared. Significant structures such as St Killian’s Hall,
Hillside Farm and Hillside Cottage, a thatched dwelling, are now
gone. The following paper describes some of the buildings that
have been lost to Greystones, their stories and the people
involved with them.

Jubilee Castle

Jubilee Castle was a simple two storey castellated detached
house, built about 1890, located on Sea Beach Road. It was the
home of the Hewson family which included Thomas Hewson, the
Rev Henry Hewson, M J Hewson, the Rev Maurice Hewson and
F M Hewson. These were the children of Falkiner Minchin
Hewson and Mary Brownrigg Hewson

By 1913 the house was occupied by William John Young,
who renamed it Rosetta Fort. He occupied it until 1930 when,
along with several other houses on Sea Beach Road, such as
Woodbine Cottage, St David’s Cottage and Seaforth, it was
damaged by a storm and subsequently demolished.
