Dundrum - Ireland in Old Photographs

For many years Dundrum was just another stop on the railway between Harcourt Street and Bray, similar to many small towns throughout Ireland, or a place to repair a cycle puncture on the way to Enniskerry and Powerscourt. Today it is a hugely popular hub of commerce and retail, attracting visitors from across the country. In this new book by local historian Joe Curtis, the past of what was, until quite recently, a small village in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains is explored through a rich collection of illustrations and images, many previously unpublished.
