    Confusing ...

    "Daylight saving time was introduced by the Summer Time Act 1916 and implemented on 1 October 1916 as GMT plus one hour and Dublin Mean Time plus one hour. However, Dublin Mean Time (used by the railways) had a disparity of twenty-five minutes with Greenwich Mean Time, which meant that the Bangor Railway Station Clock was to be put back only thirty-five minutes instead of one hour. An additional complication was that the clocks in Belfast and Bangor were twenty-three minutes and thirty-nine seconds behind Greenwich Mean Time (not twenty-five minutes as in Dublin), so the final adjustment was thirty-six minutes and twenty-one seconds. The change to the time displayed on the Bangor Station Clock was not welcomed by commuters."

    Here is something of interest - a similar angle photo Lawrence no. 4723, which does not appear in the NLI catalogue. The photo has a motor charabanc (?) which puts it towards the end of the possible date range. Spot the other differences ...

    At least 1884 onwards, as previously was operated by the Belfast, Holywood and Bangor Railway.

    Streetview They're called "The Bungalows" on the OSI 25".
  • Suck Diesel said:
    According to Wikipedia a bungalow, an Indian word, means: Built in the Bengali style "A bungalow is a small house or cottage that is either single-storey or has a second storey built into a sloping roof (usually with dormer windows) and may be surrounded by wide verandas ....and was popular with the Arts and Crafts movement."
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    According to the Newry Reporter of May 31st. 1897, the bungalows were just nearing completion. They were being built by the London and North-Western Company.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    The NIAH calls them "single storey with attic" in its entries (1, 2, 3, 4)
  • Suck Diesel said:
    NIAH www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/13831... says 1895, perhaps that was the start date. Built as holiday homes. They appear unoccupied, as yet. Must have been a new design for us at that time to merit a photo. However, nowadays the bungalow is the most common type to be seen in the Irish countryside, particularly since the "Tiger" days.. And I don't mean a Bengal tiger.
