    Taken from somewhere near here . Pontoon bridge is spanning the Royal Canal with the Mullingar to Athlone railway line behind. Newbrook racecourse had its own station which was unique in that it had two platforms which were both on the Down Line. The racecourse closed in 1961 after 109 years.
    The floats look like they're made of metal..as if old petrol tanks? The racecourse was used in the making of the 1948 film "Captain Boycott" and can been seen here. It's pretty awful....No! It's much worse than awful..

    O Mac I see your point re the film!!

    O Mac The floats do look like drop-tanks. I wouldn't think they are though - why would there be nine identical drop-tanks in Westmeath, an area not famed for its aero-industry?

    In Rory's Streetview, I see a celtic cross at right, which I think would be visible if present. The NIAH dates it at 1925.

    I don't see a Blackburn Draper in Moate in the 1911 census, but Frank Blackburn is 24, living in Athlone with his parents and is a Commercial Clerk in the Woollen trade.

    I see Carburine Motor Spirit references from the 1910s/20s.
