    I tripped over a link the other day to a collection of old, and not so old, photos from the Buncrana and Inishowen part of the world. Here it is in case it is of interest to anyone.

    That does look like St. Mary's Road. It looks like the photographer was stand in the grounds of what is the Oratory now.
    Funny thing is that I had had the impression that St. Oran's Road had been known as Victoria Road.

    That's what I thought.

    The bridge on St.Oran's Road is Victoria Bridge :)
