Carrick-on-Shannon Town Hall

The Town Hall was built at the request of the residents, who needed a gathering place for assemblies, record keeping and court proceedings. The land for the site was donated by the Whytes, a prominent local family.

Near Town Hall, on Bridge Street, stands Lake Walk House. Susan Langstaff Mitchell was born here in 1866. She was a popular poet and satirist who began her career as the assistant of A.E. George Russell. She became part of a circle of writers that included Yeats, Stephens, Colum and others who intitiatiated the Irish Literary Revival.
