Author: O’BRIEN, Gearoid.
Dublin: Gill & Macmillan, 2002. 116 pages. Illustrated. Paperback.
“This wonderful collection of photographs is a chronicle of social life in Athlone from the 1890s to the present day. The main emphasis is on the period 1940-80. The book recalls the town’s commercial, sporting and artistic life with nostalgia and affection. Gearoid O’Brien has assembled a remarkably wide selection of images, all of them drawn from private sources and most of them never seen before in print.”
