Frozen Galway 1962/3

NickSantigo

Folks I’m looking to get a canvas picture of Galway for above the mantelpiece in my sitting room. What I have in mind is one of the River Corrib Frozen over from 1962/3. My problem is I’m struggling to find a picture of the frozen River. There was one on the wall in The Commercial boat club (I assume it’s still there) in Woodquay but I’m struggling to find an electronic copy of the picture. The picture iirc is of the river completely frozen over looking up the river to where the Quincentennial Bridge is now.
It’s probably a long shot but does anyone have any pics of the frozen river/lake from this time.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Connacht Tribune office?

Completely forgot about their Archive. Thanks for the suggestion.

University library might have something.

If you do find the pic would you mind throwing it up here. Would love to see it.
