    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.\

    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.

    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.
