Description

Old Drogheda offers a unique glimpse into Ireland's rich history and the town's enduring legacy. This collection of images showcases the region's most significant landmarks, including the medieval Lawrence Gate and St. Peter's Church, as well as the infamous site of Oliver Cromwell's 1649 siege. Beyond the battle sites and historic buildings, the book features a range of photographs that capture everyday life in early 20th-century Drogheda. Images of workers at the Boyne Linen Company and Butlin's holiday camp add a human touch to the collection, while also highlighting the town's industrial heritage. This photographic journey through ancient Drogheda provides a fascinating insight into Ireland's complex history and the people who have shaped it over the centuries.
