"The First and Last" Pub, being the first and last pub on the way to the station in Omagh, which is also currently closed.
The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the first station on 13 September 1852.
A series of temporary stations, near the junction with the Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway, served the town until 3 March 1863 when a new, joint station - shared by the two companies (or, rather, their successors)- was opened at the junction.
The station was taken over by the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1883.
It closed on 15 February 1965.
