Spelled Ballywillin on the 25". Not on the Sligo line, it is on the 1856 Inny Junction to Cavan line. Eiretrains linked above says The line lost its passenger service in 1947 but regular goods services survived until 1960, which is when O'Dea visited. The line was single track for the most part, but the 25" shows multiple tracks at the station platforms/goods shed.

Flickr is sometimes amazing! In 2013 via 2c.., who includes this: "Local Lore holds that Micheal Collins the famous Irish patriot stole through this station countless times to meet his nearby love, while conducting the “little war” with his invisible army. Collins was reputed to be a regular visitor, albeit in secret to Ballwillan to visit his love in nearby Granard. ..." Confirmation required !

Logainm says the name is from Béal Átha an Mhuilinn, Mill ford. There is a Corn Mill at the NE of the townland on the 6" and 25" map, gone today.

Mr French was there also - Before clock - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000320925 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000326970 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000326971 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000040292 After clock - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000321872 - see slightly more ivy on the Terminus Hotel than today's photo. Which implies this is before the last Lawrence one, and before 1915, at least. Or is it at most?
