Photo of CCTV camera outside George Orwell’s home is edited

A photo appearing to show a CCTV camera outside the former home of George Orwell has been edited. 

The image shows a large camera with a sign saying “24 hour CCTV recording in operation” in front of a house featuring a plaque that notes “George Orwell 1903-1950 novelist and political essayist lived here”. 

George Orwell is perhaps best known for his novel ‘1984’, in which citizens of a totalitarian state are subject to mass surveillance. 

This photo was shared on social media as early as 2012, and has recently circulated on both Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) with a caption saying: “They are trolling George Orwell’s ghost.”

However, the image has been edited—it’s part of a series called ‘Restyles of the Dead and Famous’ by photographer

Dublin will host a society dedicated to Irish novelist George Russell

The United Arts Club, located on Upper Fitzwilliam Street, is the venue for the event. The poet, writer, artist, and philosopher assisted in founding the club in 1907.

AE Russell, as he was also called, was a highly esteemed and renowned figure worldwide, and was considered a giant of Irish public life.

Despite spending the majority of his life in Dublin, he was born in Lurgan, County Armagh, in 1867.

When he passed away in England in 1935, Taoiseach Eamon De Valera and WB Yeats led his funeral procession, and he was given special treatment with an aerial flypast as his coffin was transported back to Ireland via Dún Laoghaire.

A bust of Russell may be found in Dublin’s Merrion Square, and a perfect duplicate can be found in the former Lurgan Town Hall.

For several years, an annual festival…
