Here it is on the OS 25" map. Closed in 1970, and long since demolished.

@gnmcauley Thanks Niall, location now fixed on our map.

I believe my grandfather Owen Hughes born 1902 and my great uncle Felix Hughes born 1901 were at Pembrooke Industrial School after 1902. There fathers name was John Hughes and mother name was Mary Hughes née Barkey. According to 1901 census they were living in County Monaghan in Killyneil. My grandfather was not yet born but there was another great uncle born 1900 and his name was James Hughes. 1911 census only shows their Grandparents home at address I have mentioned. Any information would be much appreciated. My grandfather Owen Hughes sometimes known by Jack and his brother Felix (Frank) I knew him as Uncle Frank both made it out of Pembrooke Industrial School, Owen arrived by ship in Australia and worked on a sugar plantation in Townsville where he married my grandmother Maria Hughes formally Nicholson, parents Joseph and Anna Frances nee Chaney ( also arrived by ship from Dublin.) Married 9th November 1938 at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Townsville. They end up settling in Wellington New Zealand and had 4 children Anne,Patricia,Vincent and Terry who are all alive, my grandfather past away in the early 1980s in Rotorua, New Zealand and my Grandmother past away in the early 1990s at Raumati South,NorthIsland,New Zealand. Felix Hughes worked on the International Linars as awaiter, often docking in Wellington New Zealand,. Eventually he settled in Foxton New Zealand. I don’t think he ever married and past on years before my grandfather. If this information helps some other descendants of my family that will make me very happy. If anyone has any information for me, contact me by email nz5debra@gmail.com, my name is Debra and I am the daughter of Ann Hughes as mentioned above. Kind Regards, Debra Nash.
