 Chair-lift Base Station. The chair-lift on Bray Head was constructed in 1950 and operated until 1970. It connected the Cliff Walk to the Eagle's Nest and was a popular tourist attraction. Powered by electricity and similar to a ski lift it was known locally as the 'electric chairs'! |

| Bray Head. The cross built in 1950 is absent. This would indicate that the photo was taken before this time and not in 1953 as stated. |

Aidan, good point but Raheen Park is under construction which would verify the year is 1953. Also, I checked the image reference numbers. This batch XAW052201-XAW052215 is dated '1953' but the previous batch up to XAW052186 is dated 6th September 1953 and the subsequent images from XAW052216 are dated 8th September 1953, so it is likely that the batch including this image was taken on Monday 7th September 1953, +or- 1 day. The concrete cross on Bray Head should be visible but its silhouette may be masked by the grey background. |
