Mornington House

This is a listed building - the front facade is as it was.
It's now a planning office for Meath County Council.

Great memories of the good old days.

Meath County Council have owned Mornington House since the sale of the building and since TEAMtalk 252 divebombed out.

That building is a listed building by the OPW and the front facade cannot be altered to any severe cosmetic degree(so it will always LOOK like the Atlantic building at least)

There were some structural rearrangements to the rear of the building with the destruction of the Atlantic staff canteen and the generator house at the rear and the building of a hideous extension at the back (making it impossible for one to completely circle the building in a motor car as had been possible in the 252 days).

Charity 252 NEVER came from the Atlantic building over in Trim,it eminated from the RTE Broadcast Museum (you know,where they mounted the aerials to JAM NOVA from? Yeah,there) - that's where "Charity" 252 came from.
