Skibbereen
The CB&SCR platform side of Skibbereen station building is on the left of this picture - with the plant growing out of it. The nearer building is a post-closure addition and both now form part of a garage. View looks south towards Baltimore with the trackbed built over in the distance. Some 60 years ago the photographer would have been standing in the loop line at this station which was open from 1877 to 1961. At the rear of the station building was the platform for the narrow gauge Schull and Skibbereen Railway which operated between 1886 and 1947.
