    The car looks like it's O Dea's Austin Cambridge.

    Clontarf Bridge, Cork - over the south channel of the River Lee (not Brian Boru bridge on the north channel, though they're very similar): Streetview: www.google.ie/maps/@51.8976451,-8.4650496,3a,47.7y,3.6h,8... Edit: Streetview link not working for some reason

    Scherzer rolling lift bascule bridge, erected 1911. 197 feet long, four span (opening span of 62 feet) bridge resting on six concrete filled steel caissons having cast iron parapets. Bridge reconstructed in 1981, and no longer opening.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Usage of the Cork City Railways lines reduced with the closure of the old CBSCR route in 1961; however, freight movements to Albert and Victoria Quays continued until 1976
  • Niall McAuley said:
    So the Cork, Bandon and South Coast Railway was closing in 1961, hence O'Dea's interest.

Let's follow the money

    It turns out that the winner of all that dosh may not be in Clare after all. The shop that sold the winning ticket is on the Tipperary/Clare border and the West Clare Railway didn't go there, slowly or otherwise! Anyway good luck to whoever won it!

    If the photo really was taken in September 1956 (a fine month by the way), the poster for the Dublin Horse Show is out of date should be taken down, as the event opened on Tuesday August 7 and continued up to and including Saturday August 11.
