A view of the exterior of Our Lady of the Wayside Church in Kilternan, County Dublin, in about 1945. Known locally as 'the Blue Church' (after its Marian color), it was constructed from timber in 1929.
A view of West Gate Tower in Wexford in about 1950. The tower in the photograph was originally called Selskar Gate and served as a private entrance to Selskar Abbey rather than as a public town gate.

In the 1990s, Selskar Gate underwent a complete restoration and was renamed West Gate Tower serving as an important reminder of Wexford’s built heritage.
