| Abstract | 'Globalisation' is a word which is ubiquitous in the 21st century. However, its lineage, if defined as the point that nations began to communicate instantaneously without the barriers of oceans between them, began in the 19th century. Specifically, in 1858 a submarine telegraph cable was stretched from Europe to the North America. The significance of this event was unprecedented for humanity, for which the physical sites involved merit the highest possible international accolades. However, the European point of this achievement, on Valentia Island, Ireland, is currently in a poor state of disrepair. Nonetheless, it is hoped that with the appropriate recognition, the site and its accompanying ensemble of buildings, will be brought back to the glory that it once possessed. |
