A real treat for any of you living within an hour or so from London.

This Thursday, 4 April, 

“Classic Irish Steam” by Ciarán Cooney

IRRS Photographic Archivist, Ciarán Cooney, has skilfully restored the  classic photos of Bob Clements, Denis Morris and J Macartney Robbins. 

Enjoy stirring shots of 400s, 500s and 800s hard at work annostalgic photos of rarely-seen places like Clara Midland and Inny Junction. 

Then high-wheeled J5s on the Midland doing everything from cattle trains to excursions, and 2-4-0’s in the west,with much more to come such as the SL&NCR, the GNR(I), the B&CDR, and NCC moguls, mogul tanks and 4-4-0’s. 

This is a veritable feast of classic Irish steam with memorable and classic photos from the cameras of the great IRRS photographers of the past. 

It is similar to a show Ciarán gave to the RPSI in Belfast where it received the highest acclaim. 

Don’t miss it this time round.
