Portmagee Fish Curing, Co.Kerry

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

  • Mossy Carey said:
    Valentia Island is in the background and a bridge was opened between Portmagee and Valentia in 1971. Valentia in the title seems a little misleading. Everybody knows each other in both places; but one wouldn't want to persuade them that they are one and the same.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Mossy Carey One certainly would not! Title changed now, and I'll try to remember to change it in our catalogue too. Again, that was from the original Lawrence information.

    I used to holiday down here as a kid. I think the picture is taken from the slate mines on the island. It provided the slates for the UK's Houses of Parliament.

    A Mr Michael Kenna would have been station master at the time. www.flickr.com/photos/be216cd1/7653446174/in/photolist-cE...

    There's a description of the last day of the railway here under "Caherciveen Closure." "The 39½ mile branch line from Farranfore to Valentia Harbour - one of the most scenic lines in Ireland - was closed to all traffic on and from February 1. As January 31 was a Sunday the last trains ran on Saturday, January 30, a day on which the Kerry weather, true to form, provided rain almost without a break throughout the day"
  • Mossy Carey said:
    The location is Renard Point. The Royal Hotel and other buildings in Knightstown, Valentia are to be seen across the harbour. A famous restaurant and bar are at The Point today and a fish processing plant. A modern ferry runs to Valentia on a constant basis during daylight in the summer. The Royal Hotel in Valentia is still in business and thriving. There are now plans afoot to create a cycleway where the trains once ran.
