It's great to see that the restoration work for the goods platform has been completed by Dermot J Maguire. Its a credit to him to be be able to restore this important piece of the town's history to such good condition.




























Here's a short video of the restored platform. Its a credit to Dermot.

A few photos and a video from a drone test flight this evening along the railway platform that is under restoration. I plan to add more to this post as time goes on, although the work is nearly complete at this stage.

Here's 2 photos I took in 1995 where the platform is visible. I climbed to the top of the grain tower that day.

    1. Well My dear.
      It is indeed, it was crumbling away until about 4 years ago when Dermot got involved. He's turned what was basically a wasteland into a nice civic amenity for people to ramble around.
      See you soon.
