    Bit of a weird request but would anyone have any photos of Gibraltar Point back in its heyday when it wa's more like a beach resort?

    Chat to Aidan Mannion in the Record Room in Grattan St. He collects old photos and postcards.

    There are some great photos if you just google Gibralter 1900s and click on images or you could put any year for that matter :]

    Strange??? I just tried it again there and there are hundreds of pics. Just put "Gibralter" in Google and enter, it brings up websites, ignore them and just under the bar at the top there is the word "Images" second word in from the left. Hit that and it should show loads of pics. Good Luck.

    All I get are pics of Gibralter off Spain and somewhere in Canada as well.

    No photographs, but some interesting comments.

    "You wouldn’t get a stone to sit on if you didn’t go out early"

    "Formerly a popular beauty spot, its popularity ended when a municipal dump opened nearby"

    The Sligo Heritage facebook group might have something or a member that could help.
