Clipperstown station, Carrickfergus
Clipperstown station opened in 1925 and was a basic halt with corrugated iron shelters (but not with the ascetic merit of a Great Western “pagoda”) and short platforms. The platforms are now longer and the shelters are the modern equivalent. There were sidings to a salt works and the branch to Carrickfergus harbour diverged on the Belfast side. This is the view to Larne Harbour.
