from a different world....

... Skegness was primarily a fishing village and small port,[9] and significant numbers of visitors were not seen before the arrival of the railway in 1875. In 1908, the Great Northern Railway commissioned a poster to advertise excursions to the resort: the first such excursion was from King's Cross, London on Good Friday 1908, leaving London at 11.30 am.[10] The "Skegness is so Bracing" poster featuring the Jolly Fisherman helped to put Skegness on the map and is now famous. The poster, derived from an oil painting by John Hassall, was purchased by the railway company for 12 guineas (£12.60).[10] However Mr Hassall did not visit the resort until 1936. He is said to have died penniless. ... From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skegness#Railway

I have Just added the following photo to our 50,000+ Views Album - thanks for viewing out photographs. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/sets/72157651136879037/]

I think it has to be somewhere along the Carrickbrack road area OSI, as that's the part running along the road. But I'm not sure how that matches up with the background...

There's a slightly different angle of the same tram also available, this time recorded as in Sutton.

The track is doubled here.

Niall McAuley Then I'll go with this bit (OSI) matching with this current bus stop.

It's Edward the Blue Engine!

This is the only turntable at Dundalk on the old OSI map.

It's all desolate now on Google Maps
The original shaded lettering "17?" is more ornate than the new lettering "CIE".

Excellent Carol!
I Love old trains!

blackpoolbeach Thanks Pete. Now located on Flickr Map. Plus thanks for CIÉ rather than CN. The hook is a little obscuring, but I had thought I could see a stroke...
