Barrow Street Railway Shed

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 1999 / July 28 1999: Barrow Street Railway Shed

The recent screening by RTÉ television of the documentary series Ironing the Land will have brought Ireland's rich railway heritage to the attention of many viewers. It is therefore surprising that the imminent destruction of a piece of our railway heritage has not generated comment, particularly from organisations dedicated to the preservation of that heritage. Within the next few days the former engine shed of the Dublin and South Eastern Railway at Barrow Street, Ringsend is scheduled for demolition to make way for the development of a DART station. A small portion of the shed wall is to be incorporated into the structure of the new station.
