Abstract: A ZFC Dowker space is constructed which has cardinality $alep{h}_{omega+1}$. This provides a bound in ZFC to the first cardinal in which there is a ZFC Dowker space. The space we construct is a closed and cofinal subspace of M.~E.~Rudin's Dowker space from 1971. A theorem from pcf theory used in the proof, but otherwise the proof is elementary.
