Dublin's railway village: the 1846 Inchicore Railway Works and the company terraces built for its men, the Art Deco library and 1853 model school that grew up around them, Richmond Barracks (1810) and its central role in processing the leaders of the 1916 Rising, neighbouring Goldenbridge Cemetery — Ireland's first Catholic cemetery since the Reformation — the Oblates' Church of Mary Immaculate and its full-scale 1930 Lourdes grotto, and the stretch of the Grand Canal's Circular Line, anchored on an 18th-century lock, that actually runs along Inchicore's southern edge. Note: this trail does NOT cover Kilmainham Gaol or the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, both already covered in this deploy's separate Kilmainham cluster, and it does NOT cover the well-known Grand Canal Basin/Dock at Ringsend, which sits several kilometres away on the far side of the city centre and is not within walking distance of Inchicore — see the canal stop's own notes for that geography check.
