WE’VE taken seven photographs of Irish street scenes from the National Library of Ireland’s archive, and matched them with the same scene today thanks to Google Street View.
Some have hardly changed at all. Others are unrecognisable.
George’s Street (now O’Connell Street), Limerick, 1880
… and today
St Patrick’s Hill, Cork, circa 1900
… and today
College Street, Killarney, circa 1900
… and today
Main Street, Blackrock, Co Louth, circa 1905
… and today
Shop Street, Galway, 1910
… and today
The Mall, Tralee, 1952
… and today
High Street, Kilkenny, 1955
… and today
