This is the view, southeast, across the Boyne Bridge on the Brunswick Road. The railway Image is below. Hard to imagine now but the Belfast and County Down railway had an extensive yard on the Belfast side. It included sidings, an engine shed and a sand drier of which this chimney was part. Dry sand was essential in preventing wheel slip. The old engine shed was (if my memory is correct) subsequently occupied by a business, making dog food, which later moved to Castlewellan.
