O’Connell Bridge, Dublin – Various Pics 1960s to 1990s

I did a quick internet search and was surprised that none of these photos of O’Connell Bridge, Dublin appear to be on the web. Well, that’s changed now. The above black & white picture, by Brian Seed for Life Magazine, is beautiful. Click on the other scanned panoramic shots to view at larger scale.

Scanned from the following books/mags. From top down…
