The remarkable seaside town of Tramore has a rich and vibrant history which is uniquely captured in this collection of archive images. Andy Kelly and Frank O’Donoghue explore Tramore’s development from a small fishing village of the early nineteenth century to the thriving town of today. Accompanied by detailed and informative captions, each page captures life in the area as it once was, recalling notable people and events as well as featuring some of the town’s key buildings, its businesses and leisure pursuits, its renowned beach and famous Waterford and Tramore Railway.
