Irland - County Sligo - Strandhill Cannon

The townland where Strandhill is located today formed part of the Nicholson estate, and around 1877 Nicholson started selling portions of this estate. A man named Benjamin Murrow who came from Belfast to Sligo to become a lawyer’s clerk bought the area and decided to develop his purchase. In the early days, Ben Murrow was concerned with attracting people to Strandhill and getting people to move there and develop houses and hotels.When the battery of the Sligo Militia at Rosses Point was dismantled in 1907, Mr Murrow purchased three cannon guns and mounted one cannon at the seashore where it proudly stands to this day.
