A photo of Audrey & Margaret Rutter with Billy Power, taken in 1955, I think.

What a pleasure it must have been for Mr. Mullins to come and teach these boys every day, each one being scholarship material and impeccably behaved. The boys in the picture were named by Gerry O’Regan, with one or two corrections of my own which might be wrong.

I think the ladies featured in this photo are Mrs. Glody, Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Mason, having a laugh outside of Bill's. I'm fairly sure that the photo was taken by David Campbell during one of his visits home in the 1960's.

I'd imagine this photo was probably taken in the 1940's.

Davey 'Muck' Murphy in the wheelhouse.

The young mothers of Dunmore eagerly awaiting the emergence of their sons and daughters from the classroom, I'd say the photo was taken in the early 1960's.

Musician extraordinaire, Gerry Power, performing in the Butchers Bar.

Gerry, Ann and Paddy O'Regan, relaxing in the hay during the early 1960's.

Attendees at the Board of Works dinners dance, photographed in the mid 1960's.

Nicky Flynn was a man of many talents, here he is seen planting an explosive device. I'm not sure who the other man is, or if he was ever seen again after the explosion.

A happy group queueing up outside the dispensary in Dunmore to get the small pox vaccine in 1962. This photo is taken from a newspaper cutting, so the quality is not perfect.

A tough looking gang wait patiently in hope of gaining entry to Lawlor’s Hotel. In the group are Gerry Burke, sitting on the bike and possibly a Haven barman on the window sill. Beside him from the left are Richie Fanning, Neddy Fitzgerald, Richie Power, Jimmy Cullinane, Tom Murray, Charlie Harte, and Davy O'Rourke. The photo was taken in 1956.

I don't recognise this woman, but the wall is located outside of where the dispensary is now. Crab Cottage can be seen in the background.

A photo of John Dunne doing the daily bread run for Harney's Bakery. John was around 17 when this picture was taken.

A photo taken in the 1960's outside of Eddie's house, I think.
