An impressive series of boundary walls associated with Mullingar Train Station (15310049). They were constructed by the Midland and Great Western Railway Company as part of the extensive engineering works involved with the construction of the Dublin Broadstone to Galway railway line, which was opened as far as Mullingar in 1848 and was completed in 1851. This well-built feature forms part of an important collection of related structures associated with Mullingar Station, which together represent one of the best collections of Victorian railway architecture/engineering in Ireland.
