Youghal - Clockgate Tower

In Youghal's Main Street are a number of old buildings. On the left are the remains of Tynte's Castle (15th C.), on the right the Red House, a brick building of 1706 in Dutch style, almshouses (1634) and St John's House, a hospital founded in 1360. At the end of the street rises the five-story Clockgate Tower, erected in 1771 in place of an old town gate; until 1837 the town prison, it now houses a small museum.
