A ticket for the Hill of Howth Tramway, operated by the Great Northern Railway Company, purchased on 24 April 1916, the first day of the Easter Rising. The ticket was purchased by the family of T. Molloy and his description conveys his personal memories of that day. It reads ‘Ticket issued for Easter Monday 1916 to one of a family going to Howth for the day. Coming to Howth Station to return home in the evening great crowds of people were told that no trains were running as there was trouble in the city. I, at the age eight, with my seven-year-old brother, & my father & mother, who carried another two-year-old brother, had, like many others, to walk home that night’.
