Finished my project and have handed it in yesterday 15/4/2015.
I enjoyed all the research and found it very interesting especially the trip to the Public Records Office in Belfast. A thank you to all the staff at the various libraries, Newry, Warrenpoint, Armagh, Downpatrick and Ballynahinch.

Like everyone I need to stop the research and begin writing.  A lot of information on the railways and their closure.  Have had to collate information on employment at the time as no statistics are available, but it is quite interesting looking at the various trades  and types of employment which are lost.  Hotel work has also changed a lot to say noting about transport and tourism.
