South Dublin - From the Liffey to Greystones: Images of Ireland Paperback / softback
by Derek Stanley
Paperback / softback
Description
South Dublin is an area of great diversity, ranging from the Liffey riverside close to the city centre to leafy suburbs and picturesque coastal scenery.
In between lie numerous towns and villages that have been enveloped by Dublin's expansion; each has its own character and appearance.
This fascinating collection of around 200 old photographs and postcards charts the past century or so of South Dublin's history.
The book opens with a chapter on the areas along the Liffey including Irishtown, Sandymount, Ballsbridge and Donnybrook.
The tour of South Dublin then moves outwards to Milltown, Booterstown, Dundrum and Stillorgan, among others.
The special importance of Dun Laoghaire to the life and work of South Dublin is reflected in the three chapters dedicated to the town and port.
As well as images of the streets and buildings, there are intriguing views of the ferries and the port from earlier times, and a record of the town's inhabitants and events.
The compilation ends with a look at the towns south of Dun Laoghaire, including Dalkey, Bray and Greystones.
