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.
A view of West Town Harbour on Tory Island off the coast of County Donegal. An annotation on the reverse of the print reads 'Donegal Mountains seen at a distance of 10 miles from the harbour at West Town, Tory Island'.
The woodenworks fronting the quay in Wexford in about 1930. The offices of the Wexford Steamship Company, operated by James Stafford (1860-1947), are visible in the background of the image.
