    According to the DIA, St. Michael's Church spire was completed in 1902, and I don't see it. County Hall is from 1880.

    beachcomber australia And excavation, it’s difficult to reconcile that view with any of the various vintage PRONI maps. The trip could have been worth his while as the fuel would have been tax free for a ‘foreign flight’

    Two railways ran side by side to Larne harbour. The Ballymena and Larne railway, a narrow gauge railway and the Belfast and Northern Counties railway, a standard gauge railway. 1950 saw wholesale closures of railways following the formation of the Ulster Transport Authority in 1948. The Ballymena and Larne railway was one of many that were closed than year. The road on the right of the railway lines is still known as the Narrow Gauge Road.
