To Gosford [taken from train window]

  • Bankstown Babyboomer said:
    1929 was the year the express service was launched, hauled by 36 class steam locos. It looks like a 36 on the front. Perhaps it's the first run? From Wiki - The Northern Commercial Limited and the Inter City Express were the names given to the trains, the latter of which eventually became known as The Newcastle Express.

    This photo predates the introduction of the NCL and ICE Expresses,w hich began operation on 11 Novemer 1929. Those trains were hauled by 32 class locomotives for the first few years and the carriages were different to those shown here, being a 6 car end platform tourist set for the first two months before being replaced by a six car CUB set. 36 class locomotives only began operating these trains from October 15, 1934.

    L_IMP_0914 next door, seems to be a reverse-ish view. Condensed script titling, saying "SEAT OF EARL OF GOSFORD. Co. ARMAGH. 914. W.L." See - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000330156

    Flickr is sometimes amazing! There are not many photos of Gosford Castle from this front aspect; here is one dated 2005 showing decay and fire damage, before recent restoration, via Still Burning

    No market here, Markethill is just the name of the local village and townland. Has featured in Game of Thrones www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/northern-ireland/part... “Gosford Castle is a 19th-century country house situated in Gosford, a townland of Markethill, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It was built for Archibald Acheson, 2nd Earl of Gosford, and designed in the Norman revival style by London architect Thomas Hopper. It is a Grade A listed building, and is said to be Ulster's largest. The Earls of Gosford occupied the castle until 1921, and the estate was later purchased by the Ministry of Agriculture to form Gosford Forest Park. The building subsequently deteriorated and in 2006 was sold to a development company who converted the castle into private dwellings.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gosford_Castle
