Loughlinstown was originally a village, on the road from Bray to Dublin. During the sixtees, one of the first of dual carriegeway roads,was built through this area, leaving Loughlinstown divided along the west side of the new road
A very large old Chestnut tree was situated in the centre of the dual carriageway for many years, at its junction with the Wyatville road.
It was often called The Big Tree,and was a landmark feature on the road from Wicklow to Dublin. Later the junction was upgraded in the nineteen seventies, and the tree was knocked down.
In two thousand and four, the old sixtees road was renewed with a new dual carriageway, and this junction was replaced with an overbridge.
