Youghal

The historic seaside town of Youghal has a rich and vibrant history which is uniquely captured in this collection of archive images. Still a popular tourist destination today, local historian Kieran Groeger explores the development of the walled town from its importance as a military base and port to its subsequent transformation into a seaside resort. With 200 images recalling old shops and industries, schools and institutions, changing streetscapes and the characters that made the town, this is an invaluable record of the heritage of Youghal.
