A fascinating view of Dublin and it’s people through the eyes of John Walsh the Grandfather of our presenter, Suzanne Behan. This talk captures the essence of Dublin, giving us a unique and nostalgic look at an integral part of a changing city. This is a talk not to be missed:
“From religious processions and Dublin traditions, to when women drank in the snug and the ‘good suit’ came in and out of the pawn shop when needed, The 50 Francis Street Archive is a unique collection of stunning, original photographs, a fascinating social history and celebration of people and places from the Photographer John Walsh’s life’s works. John Walsh ran his photography business out of a small shop on 50 Francis Street in inner city Dublin. For over fifty years, he took thousands of photos on all aspects of Dublin life -street photography , iconic religious events , social life , tenement life, and a first hand view of life in this era, Here in this talk the images from the 50s and 60s are brought to life by his granddaughter Suzanne who will give us a unique and nostalgic look of an integral part of changing city.”
