The Signal Box formerly known as Lambes Bar originally dates back to the 1840s.Ballybrophy station is a stones throw away and Dublin Heuston can be accessed in just over an hour journey. The station in its heyday employed over 300 people and was the centre for cattle trade to Dublin. The property was tastefully restored by The late Peter McCarthy and his wife Mary and was a very successful country pub until it closed for retirement in 2004 and was carefully converted to a lovely domestic dwelling. It needs to be seen to appreciate its good location and mature gardens. It is widely reputed in the long railway history that the Big Fella, Michael Collins took refuge there whilst on the run.
