Re: Re: BARROW STREET RAILWAY SHED

Yes I wouldn’t mind a picture either if anyone has one 🙂

The above structure seems to be a typical 1950s concrete shed of column and sleeper construction, where horizontal bands were slotted down between the verticals like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Another example is on the Drumcondra Road near the Griffith Avenue Garda station, with its gable facing the road. This type of building always tends to make me uneasy – suppose they’re reminicent of wartime construction aren’t they: POW and even concentration camps…
