Coming up to my 52nd birthday, I got thinking about the place in which I grew up, Waterville Co. Kerry, and where the family home still remains. In particular, I got to thinking about how the village commercial life has changed over the half century or so of my recall.
So on Facebook I recently made public some photo albums mainly containing photos from the 1950s and 1960s. Most were taken by my father, who was a keen slide photographer. There were, literally, thousands of these lying in boxes in the attic, and a couple of years ago I bit the bullet and got them scanned and cleaned. The ones on Facebook are the pick of the crop.
Links to the albums are here. I understand that even people with no Facebook account can view these. If people know the locations or any of the people, feel free to let me know.
and here are some samples. Wander in and take a look – there are hundreds more.
