Google van Tootle ?? - goo.gl/maps/ti0gV - the house with the white chimney behind and below. Best seen from the other side of the footbridge which was presumably built to replace the ferry.

It was December 1806 before the canal reached Mullingar..................Passengers travelling between Dublin and Mullingar in 1807 were charged 12/6d. for first class and 7/7d. for second class. The duration of the journey was twelve hours. Initially there were two sailings each day in each direction. www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/environment-geography... I would have thought that twelve hours was a good deal.

Nowhere near this end of the canal, but I liked this report in Freeman's Journal on August 18th 1843
CAUTION TO BATHERS Between five and six o'clock yesterday evening, an hour in which the locality is much frequented by the public, two soldiers of the 72nd Highlanders proceeded to bathe in the Royal Canal, Blacquiere Bridge, Circular-road, to the great annoyance of numerous passengers. Mr. Falkner, of Mount Falkner, whose house is next to the place, promptly and most properly at once interfered, and gave the outragers of common decency in custody to the police.
Thank goodness for Mr Falkner.

Greatdown Footbridge (no real info there, unfortunately).

Niall McAuley "1 mile and 4 furlongs long" - how quaint, should have said "1 and a half miles long" instead.

View from Jones Road looking West? Streetview Looks like it, that is Clonliffe Flour Mills at right per the 25" map. Binn's Bridge in the distance. The Flour mills are there on the 1930s Cassini map too. That site is now the Croke Park hotel, Croke Park itself is behind the cameraman to our right.
DannyM8 said:
I think that is the Royal Canal from the bridge at Russell St / Jones's Rd just beside Croke Park.

Collen are still going: www.collen.com/Home.aspx

IIRC, we heard of them before in Killarney. Yes, they built this house in the 1870s:

Clonliffe Flour Mill on right, the Royal Canal on left and a P&T linesman on top. There'll be no commuter service tonight, although there is a parallel line on the other side of Croker. The MGW line which follows the canal to Mullingar.
