The house at Fort Saumarez. John Ireland stayed here.

This rambling building was situated at the base of Fort Saumarez, it was demolished post war and replaced by a more modern building. In the distance is L'Eree.

The composer of 'SARNIA', John Ireland took lodgings in this house between 1939 and 1940. 'SARNIA' was one of his masterpieces. Some parts of this piano solo were composed in this house.

This image was taken just after WW2, so it would have looked like this when John Ireland stayed here.
