    Road a railway viewpoint there may be interesting things here. Does that not show the former sidings to Ballsbridge with a train on it? And was not site of the Dublin and Kingston Railway's original "engine hospital", before move to Canal Street, on the other side of the main line just to the right of the junction? The river will be the Dodder, described by Bergin as "Dublin's River", the railway bridge over it being destroyed in a storm in November 1834 just before it opened. Now there's Facebook(Meta) here with weird green walls or something. ( I've not cross checked anything I'm rambling on about).😇

Prior to the RDS the Garrison was the place to be!

    There is a townland called Garrison near Erril, not a million miles west of Rathdowney, with just one house on the historic maps.
