Roscrea SVP shop.

I've just had a look around in there, on the way back from Lidl, and was surprised to see that their book section has a specific 'Railway' section.

The books are mostly about the Big island, of course, but they currently have a copy of Patterson's Ballymena Lines, if that is desperately needed by anybody.

 

I think it was €8,

The shop is almost straight across from the round tower, if you're passing through on the 'old road'.

A rare beast! I have a copy myself from years ago and it is a truly EXCELLENT book - about a much-ignored system. I often thought the Ballymena & Larne Rly would make a top-class subject for modelling the 3ft gauge.

OK - I only had a brief look at it. If it's there next week, I might rescue it.

If you don't have it, I would highly recommend it. You've got me fishing out my copy for another read!
