THE STEAM MUSEUM

This fine Victorian gothic building, once stood near Inchicore Railway Works. In the Model Hall the Collection consists of Early Inventor’s models, Scientific Engineering Models, and Historic Works of Mechanical Art.

The Power Hall displays six huge nineteenth century Stationary Engines running in steam on occasions. Demonstrations are included of steam powered electric lighting, and of equipment removed from a Dublin laundry driven through its original belt and line shafting to an early prime mover. A Cornish boiler and several small engines are on show.

Portraits of the Great Inventor’s and Engineer’s of the Steam Age can be seen. The Halpin Collection has samples from the first transatlantic cable laid between Valencia Island and Newfoundland.

The Entrance Shop sells items of steam and garden interest, and the Cafe is open and can provide coffee/tea and light lunches.

LODGE PARK WALLED GARDEN

The 18th Century walled garden adjoining Lodge Park has been under restoration for the last few years and the old brick-faced walls are clothed with climbers, fruit trees and roses.

A magnificent South facing shrub border edged in box hedges and topiaried yew trees runs the length of the garden. Beech hedges divide the different compartments into a white garden, fruit cage, coloured borders, decorative vegetable area and a herbaceous border.

A feature of the garden is the outstanding rosarie which is encountered on entering the orchard. The flowers and their scent are at their best during June and July, a heady experience not to be missed.

Wander through the walled garden, with its magnificent North South reflecting border, and then visit the adjoining Steam Museum and Gift Shop to make for an enjoyable summers afternoon.
