Title: I am looking for old photographs Drogheda 1949 -1954.
Post by: charles w on Tuesday 17 March 09 16:18 GMT (UK)

I am looking for old photographs taken in Drogheda 1949 -1954 around the Blessed Oliver Plunket parades.  They were usually held around the first week in May.  Any help, as to where I may get them, would be very much appreciated.

Have you tried Old Drogheda Society ? You can contact them thru their web site....

and then via the contact us tab.

Alternatively you might try the local newspaper 'Dogheda Independant' at.....

Other options may be the Co. Louth Archive Services and the Drogheda Library

Try Boyne Books in Drogheda either - he has a lot of historical stuff particularly relating to Drogheda.  I know he was selling maps for the old Drogheda society in there recently and I have seen old photos too.
