See Image This stretch of old railway (mentioned in the caption) has an interesting history. It opened in 1860 as part of the line between Belfast York Road and Londonderry Waterside. At the time Coleraine station occupied a site at the Waterside on the western side of the Bann. The Bann Bridge Image, together with a realigned stretch of railway, opened 1924 leaving the line as a goods-only branch serving the harbour. It eventually fell into disuse in 1963 before being lifted circa 1966 and is now mostly built over. The view is from Brook Street towards the present station Image in Railway Road.
