St.Aidan's RC Cathedral, built in 1848 and designed by the noted English architect AW Pugin. The Neo-Gothic, Early English-style spire was added 25 years later, largely because of the shortage of necessary funds during the Potato Famine of the mid-1840s. Enniscorthy's tallest building has a commanding position on the town skyline, near the junction of Main and Irish streets.

"Sea Breeze" No.4, 2-6-4T, is seen crossing Enniscorthy Bridge in July 2007. This locomotive was built in Derby by the London, Midland & Scottish Railway in 1947 before seeing service in Northern Ireland until 1970. It has been restored and owned by the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland. It will continue its sedate journey down to Rosslare, via the Wexford Quayside.

Enniscorthy Railway station in 1935 and 2005. The Great Southern Railway shot shows the engine shed on the left and the goods store opposite in a view at the Dublin end of the platform taken from the water tower, looking in a north-easterly direction. Water for the two columns was taken from the Slaney River by steam pump. The busy nature of the station is clearly indicated by the presence of two locomotives and numerous wagons in the sidings.

The 2005 photo is looking from the footbridge towards the main station buildings, with the signal box and goods shed beyond. Most of the traffic at the station is now concerned with commuters to and from Dublin.
