Summary

[edit]
Description

We are somewhat regular visitors to Antrim's Causeway Coast, but had not visited Dunluce Castle before. As [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ BeachcomberAustralia] points-out, we've ridden the Giant's Causeway Tramway before - the "third rail" of which we see here. It is this third rail that helps date the image in fact, as beachcomberaustralia tells us that it was replaced with overhead wires in 1899. A move that is perhaps unsurprising given the danger it posed - electrocuting at least one unfortunate visitor....

Photographer: Robert French

Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection

Date: Catalogue range c.1865-1914. Though likely before c.1899 (tramway rail replaced)
