Earlier this year, I posted 10 ‘then and now’ photos from Temple Bar, Dublin. I used photographs from 1985. These were featured in the Irish Architectural Archive’s Temple Bar 15 catalogue.
Here are another 9 photos from the same catalogue.
For the 1985 photos, the Temple Bar 15 catalogue thanked Richard Dann for “his work on the photographs”.
