J3873 : Comber Greenway sign, Belfast
taken 14 years ago, 3 km from Dundonald, Co Down, Northern Ireland
The cold spell, which started well before Christmas 2009, has persisted into 2010. After a period with minimal snow, there was a heavy fall on the morning of 6 January 2010. It lasted about 2½ hours.
The Belfast and County Down Railway ran from Queen’s Quay station in Belfast to Castlewellan via Comber, Downpatrick and Newcastle. There were also lines from Comber to Donaghadee via Newtownards, Belfast to Bangor and branches from Ballynahinch Jct to Ballynahinch and Downpatrick to Ardglass. The lines opened between 1848 and 1892. All closed by 1950 except for Castlewellan – Newcastle which survived until 1955 as part of the GNR(I) route from Belfast via Banbridge and the Bangor line which remains open but from Belfast Central.
