As mentioned previously, I have started to populate the Irish industrial heritage Wiki. To this end, as I process the photos I take of any particular location, I will simultaneously add these images to a dedicated Coppermine photo gallery for each location and will also create the IH Wiki entry for the site.

I have created the page for Florencecourt Station which can be viewed by clicking here.

I have transferred the old list of places to visit with an IH interest from the WordPress system to the IH Wiki, as this allows for better information provision for each location so listed.

The list of venues on the island of Ireland with an IH interest can be accessed here.
