Site Description
Opened in 1850 to replace the original station in Kilcock, the Up and Down platforms here are staggered. The station building, now derelict, is on the Up platform. The remains of the signal cabin, a block post until 1977 are at the Dublin end of the Down platform. The disused goods store is opposite. Beyond the road overbridge at the Sligo end of the station, there is a disused loading bank on the Up side. The station closed in 1963. Due to the development of Kilcock nearer to the site of the original station, the decision to build a new station there was taken, rather than build a station here.Photographs
