second picture, that horse ain’t right.
It was a real pity that hover-horses went extinct. Though I’d imagine it was annoying having to dodge the poopy poo coming at you from above.

I always love historical maps ! Ta very much BS & Luke !
That railway in Dalkey ensured that the lane beside it had a wonderful name: Atmospheric Lane.
Suits it as well since it is in Dalkey. Most dark laneways beside train lines tend to be more on the rapey side of atmospheric.
Atmospheric Road
We probably had better public transport those days. At least the Brits knew how to run a country!
Love this, great find.
