The Crumlin & Walkinstown History Group, present a rare glimpse into the area around the present-day fire station on Crumlin Road and Rutland Avenue, before the housing scheme transformed it.
See unseen photos, hear long-lost stories of people and bustling businesses, and uncover surprising literary links to Joyce, Beckett, and Shaw. It vanished from map and memory — a lost corner of Crumlin, hidden for decades, brought vividly back to life.
This is just one chapter in the bigger story of Crumlin’s past.
