Accessible and comprehensive photographic history of an iconic area Illustrated with exceptionally high quality archive photographs, previously unpublished, this is both a striking visual work and a controversial history of the one of Ireland's most well-known areas. For many years, the scenic side of the town has been the focus of publications; in this book, the author has extensively researched the darker side of Dun Laoghaire, and reveals the poverty which has historically counter-balanced its more salubrious tendancies. AUTHOR: Tom Conlon is a Director of the Genealogical Services of Ireland, a local historian and lecturer at the Dun Laoghaire Borough Historical Society. He is a long-time resident of Dun Laoghaire, and regularly gives local talks on aspects of its history. SELLING POINTS: ? Experienced author ? Strong media interest ? High quality images
