Newtownforbes railway station
Originally built by the Midland and Great Western Railway Company c. 1860 to serve the Mullingar to Sligo line, the station was closed in 1963. It was probably built to designs by George Wilkinson (1814–1890), a noted architect of his day who also completed the designs for a number of other railway stations for The Midland and Great Western Railway Company (on the Mullingar to Longford and the Inny Junction to Cavan lines) at this time. It remains an important component of the architectural and industrial heritage of County Longford (on the Mullingar to Longford and the Inny Junction to Cavan lines) at this time
