Description
Bray is perhaps the most classic Victorian seaside town in Ireland. Its modern existence is due entirely to the presence of the railway, which turned it into a leisure destination for Dubliners. This wonderful collection of photographs is a chronicle of social life in Bray from the 1890s to the present day with main emphasis on the period 1940 to 1980. T Bray is perhaps the most classic Victorian seaside town in Ireland. Its modern existence is due entirely to the presence of the railway, which turned it into a leisure destination for travellers from Dublin. Much of that Victorian air still survives and is well captured in Arthur Flynn's evocative collection of old photographs. Arthur Flynn has assembled a remarkably wide selection of images, all of them drawn from private sources and most of them never seen before in print.
