Rostrevor Great Northern Railway Hotel Ireland
A very alluring - and traditional - image used by the Great Northern Railway on their 1938 holiday brochure. The GNR(I) survived the effective nationalisation of both northern and southern Ireland's transport systems by dint of the fact it straddled the border. It survived until the mid-1950s when it failed financially and was taken over by both governments. Other than the main Dublin - Belfast line the GNR(I)'s rail lines suffered badly in the great closure programme of the '60s.

Vintage GNR Warrenpoint and Mountains of Mourne Ireland Tourism Poster Print A3/A4 Paper Size: - A4, A3 A4 = 210mm x 297mm or 11.7 inc x 8.3 inc A3 = 297mm x 420mm or 16.5 inc x 11.7 inc All prints are the best possible fit to a sheet of A4, A3,. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ Our A4 and A3 posters are printed onto quality 210gsm silk coated paper using a high quality Oki laser printer and sent in durable cardboard rolls so that they reach you in pristine condition. Please note that watermarks do not appear on the actual prints. These posters are meant to be affordable reproductions of vintage posters that are rare and hard to acquire elsewhere. We endeavour to digitally restore our images to the best of our ability, but please remember that some of these images are over 100 years old and will show signs of ageing and have the odd crease. Our posters look great on the wall but may not stand up to a thorough examination. I fully admit the small print may be blurred and slight pixelation may occur on certain prints. These are fun items, not works of art. This particular image has been enlarged from a smaller digital image. We have restored the image to the best of our abilities, using the best technology we have available. This may well still result in some pixelation and buyers should not expect a 100% crisp image. All images will have a white border as this is neccessary in order for the print to be in proportion. There may be instances where small print is illegible, or there may be some blurring or pixelation on certain prints. PLEASE NOTE that they are not fine art prints, or highly detailed works of art. Because of the age of some of our posters, a few small imperfections may be reproduced. These should be visible by looking at the larger images within this listing. Some prints may have marks or creases as a result of this. Paper can often degrades with time, and sometimes an image reproduced from the original that may reflect this.IMPORTANT ROYAL MAIL TRACKING The vast majority of our items are sent via Royal Mail and purchased through Etsy Postage. A tracking number is automatically added to your order details. We have had numerous complaints that Postmen are not leaving cards when customers are not in. This now seems to be the norm. It is the customers responsibility to check the tracking and see if an item needs collection or redelivering. These items are generally returned to us after a month after which we will invoice you again to reship the item. If you're item has not arrived after the stated delivery time, check the tracking information. Please note that items sent 2nd class, will only show delivery information once delivery has been attempted. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS OUTSIDE OF THE UK Please note that we now have orders printed and sent from the customers country of residence wherever possible. Items were taking three to four weeks to be delivered by the Royal Mail, with items being delayed at customs, especially in the USA. We can now get items to customers throughout the world within 7 to 10 days. This has resulted in us having to raise our prices for orders placed outside of the UK, however, with the saving made in postage, items are generally £5 or more cheaper to the customer. We hope you agree that this is better off for all parties and that you will pay less overall and get your items quicker.

Cheating a little with the title of this one, as there is no "Post No Bills" sign to be seen (although we know they existed in Ireland long before this photo was taken). However, I fell in love with it when I saw the gentleman caught in the act of sticking up posters on the gate piers of Portadown Railway Station. And what a joy those posters are! Hope you can make out the posters on the large size of this photo, but shout if you'd like me to add notes for any of them, and the best bit is that they date this photo to around May of 1879...
