See Image (30 September 2011). The same stretch of line, on the other side of the Crawfordsburn Road, at the corner of Talbot Street, as it headed towards Comber. Anyone looking for “lost railways” in Newtownards will not have a rewarding search. The 1966 one-inch map shows the course of the line very clearly. Today’s satellite photograph http://www.maplandia.com/united-kingdom/northern-ireland/northern-ireland/down/newtownards/ shows that most of it has disappeared under various buildings etc - in this case a car park. For reference purposes Londonderry Primary School is in the background.
