J0313 : Border complexities on Captain's Road

taken 6 years ago, 3 km from Forkhill, Co Armagh, Northern Ireland

Border complexities on Captain's Road.

The shed in the foreground photographed here from UK territory is in the Republic. Beyond the shed the border crosses the road and follows the line of the hedge. Beyond the second shed Captain's Road re-enters the Republic. This border crossing was spiked in the 1950s and again in the 1970s. Locals then removed the spikes and no attempt was made to replace them.
