Another day trip the Maguires always went on was a quick trip out to Howth. Its a short train journey or by car and even occasionally I cycled out with a few friends. Its a little fishing village and very popular on Sundays. It has the usual selection of Pubs, Cafes and Restaurants. On weekdays you can buy fresh fish from numerous fish shops. Until the late 50's you could go for a trip around Howth on the Hill of Howth tram. Unfortunately lack of investment and indeed passengers meant it closed down before I was born. Frank my brother was lucky enough to take a trip. All I ever saw was the remains of the tramway in Sutton and you can still see the odd pole. Here are 2 more photos. You see Mum in the second picture walking towards the 2 trams.
