The GNR(I) line from Banbridge to Scarva closed in 1955. There was a level crossing at Drumhork (“Drumhorc” on the road signs) which was the approximate half-way point on the line. This is the level crossing keeper’s house 51 years after closure. Although modernised and extended it is still recognisable as a former railway building. The line ran between the photographer and the house.
