An exhibition of Photographs and Videos taken in an abandoned railway shed in Broadstone, Dublin, originally the headquarters of the Midland Great Western Railway (MGWR), built in 1845, closed 1937.

Part of a larger project call Broadstone Shed (see website) which goes on to explore the work and conditions of employees in the shed. The project expands to an exploration by bicycle of the entire MGWR network over a period of 4 years. The artist visited most of the stations, towns and villages on this old railway network and spoke to locals as well as former and current workers and inhabitants of stations, for whom the railway was an important part of their lives. She recorded her journey in photographs and in notebooks and also gathered stories, memories, folklore and local history.
