Irish Railway Architecture is a research blog documenting the architecture of the Great Northern Railway in Ireland.
My name is Siobhan Osgood and I am documenting and analysing the architecture of the GNRI across its entire original network for my PhD at Trinity College Dublin.
It is a work in progress and one stop at a time, photographs and histories of each location and its architecture shall emerge and be shared.
Join me for the journey!
I am always interested in writing blogs and articles for publications and journals, as well as giving interviews.
I love giving presentations, so feel free to contact me if you'd like me to give a lecture or talk. irishrailarch@gmail.com
