….stayed in Harcourt Hotel a few times when I’ve been to Dublin with my mates for horse racing. Would that be connected with ‘Harcourt Line’? I was in there the night Arsenal beat Liverpool to win the title, great memory.

Yeah it was a train line that ran up the east coast of Ireland and diverted inland just after Bray. It would have served all the suburban towns and villages in south/west around Dublin City, terminating in Harcourt St. They build a light tram system over a good deal of the line in the early 2000's.

It was madness to shut the line in the first place and was only done after an outcry when a whole loads of rural routes were closed in the previous years with dwindling populations in the west of Ireland made them financially unsustainable in Ireland.

Having said that, my parents bought a newly constructed house in the 60's that was built on the cleared railway line so not all bad I suppose.

Been doing my dad's family tree for some time now, huge amount of family who lived in the everton area in the 1860's to 1920's. Lots of the streets no longer around, but loved these pics of the steepest road in Liverpool (Havelock Street) which ran off Northumberland Terrace, where some of my lot lived.View attachment 203810View attachment 203811

….I was introduced when I first started playing open-age football & still make sure I have a few bottles of Aussie Whites in the garage. Saying that, it’s a totally different drink to the syrup-like, sticky wine i drank in the ‘70s. It was lethal then, fingers stuck to the glass. I still love it, though.

A mate first tasted it & called it ‘soda pop’. A couple of hours later he was in the gutter outside Moorfields.
