EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Railway Station in Ennistimon, County Clare, Ireland, in the year 1934. Located near the picturesque seaside town of Lahinch, the station was a vital transport hub during the era of the West Clare Railway. The railway line, which opened in 1891, connected Ennistimon with Ennis, the county town, and other towns and villages in the region, making travel more accessible for local communities and tourists. The name Ennistimon translates as 'the hole of the fountain' in Irish, and the town's railway station was a significant stop along the route. The image shows the station building with its distinctive red-brick façade, complete with a clock tower and a covered waiting area. The station platform is lined with benches, where passengers would wait for their trains, while a lone figure can be seen in the foreground, possibly a station worker or a traveler. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when train travel was a romantic and essential means of transportation in rural Ireland.
