    25" OSI O'Dea took a reverse shot which shows the station house and platform. All the buildings were demolished in the 70's for 'security' reasons.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The station has a little entry in wikipedia, which states that the station closed in 1965, around the time of this photo.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Aerial view from Google maps. The station, platform and signal box were South of the road from the East, near the line of trees. In the OSI's Ortho from 2000, you can still see the spot where the station was, but it is overgrown now.

    Conflicting closing dates---- 1887 or 1965? "The station opened July 1850 by the Dublin & Belfast Junction Railway. Initially named “Plaster”, the station was renamed “Mount Pleasant and Jonesborough” the following year. In 1855, it became “Mount Pleasant”. The station closed in 1865 but reopened later, only to be finally closed in 1887." An Industrial Heritage survey of Railways in Counties Monaghan and Louth page 35

    I don't think the station looks abandoned for 80 years - I think the 1965 date for closure looks more likely...

    For once, O'Dea was not documenting transport closures. From wikipedia: From 1873 to 1951 there was a ferry service between Greenore and Holyhead. The London and North Western Railway constructed a substantial hotel and railway station to serve passengers using the ferry. The original railway line ran from Dundalk to Greenore and the first service was 1 May 1873 when the station opened. In 1876 the railway line was extended to Newry. In the 19th century there was a ferry from Greencastle to Greenore. The railway and the station closed on 1 January 1952 and was replaced by bus services to Dundalk and Newry.\

    The saloon is named on the 25" map at GeoHive

    Niall McAuley The bridge in the middle distance must have crossed a railway line at one time.

    North Quay, Drogheda

    Golly! A fair chunk of old Drogheda has been obliterated for roads. Google Maps is saying "Heavy traffic in this area - much slower than usual" - www.google.com/maps/@53.7113805,-6.3521162,70a,35y,45h,75...

    A view from St. Mary’s Bridge, looking downriver, towards the railway viaduct. The industrial area on the right bank includes the spinning mill and the manure/vitriol works we discussed in an earlier visit. On the left,side you can see the top of the St. Lawrence Gate, the only surviving city gate.

    You've tagged this B&W, but from what I remember passing through Drogheda in the '70s and early '80s, I think this one is in colour.
