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. The image shows the structure in a rather dilapidated state (complete with pigeon coops fixed to the walls). 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.
