Description: South Dublin Village Walks - Templeogue Step 4: Tramway Depot. Site of the old Dublin to Blessington Steam Tramway depot. The tram operated between 1888 and 1932 and ran from Terenure to Blessington, linking up with city trams and the Blessington to Poulaphouca line. The tram was a critical infrastructure lifeline for business and the rural economy at the time. As well as passengers, agricultural produce and other commodities were ferried to the city while provisions were ferried out. It was also central to enhancing the lifestyles and widening the social experience of the residents of Dublin as they took holidays and day trips out of the city.
