Lavishly illustrated with photographs from the last century, Bygone Limerick provides a vivid portrait of the rich heritage of Limerick city and county. Hugh Oram takes the reader on a journey back in time, to an era when life moved at a gentler pace. From scenes of villages that will be unrecognisable to their modern inhabitants, to the glories of the flying boats at Foynes and the creation of the hydro-electric plant at Ardnacrusha, Bygone Limerick will surprise and delight anyone with an interest in life in the last century.
