Download or read book Derry in Old Photographs written by Art Byrne and published by Gill & MacMillan. This book was released on 2003 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of photographs is a chronicle of social life in Derry from 1890s to the modern day. The main emphasis is on the period 1940 to 1980. The book recalls the town's commercial, sporting and artistic life with nostalgia and affection. The famous walled plantation town occupies the site of a sixth-century Columban monastery. A town grew up around the monastery and by the 13th century Derry was a diocesan centre. But its modern history dates from the 17th century. Its history echoes that of Ulster in general. The Protestant plantation town withstood the famous Jacobite siege of 1689 - thereafter it stood as a symbol of Protestant defiance while gradually attracting a Catholic population to areas outside the walls like the Bogside. history - that which tended to unite rather than divide - is less often celebrated. That is what this book does, in pictures. The earliest image dates from 1872, but most of the material covers the years from the 1930s to the 1960s. These glimpses of the city's past and of the people who made it embrace commercical life, sport, music (for which the city is justly famous) and the other aspects of the ordinary daily round. It also records the dreadful poverty of old, as well as the embittered politics. Art Byrne and Sean McMahon have assembled a wide selection of images, all of them drawn from private sources and most of them never seen before in print.

Download or read book Snapshot Stories written by Erika Hanna and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twentieth century, men and women across Ireland picked up cameras, photographing days out at the beach, composing views of Ireland's cities and countryside, and recording political events as they witnessed them. Indeed, while foreign photographers often still focused on the image ofIreland as bucolic rural landscape, Irish photographers - snapshotter and professional alike - were creating and curating photographs which revealed more complex and diverse images of Ireland. Snapshot Stories explores these stories.Erika Hanna examines a diverse array of photographic sources, including family photograph albums, studio portraits, the work of photography clubs and community photography initiatives, alongside the output of those who took their cameras into the streets to record violence and poverty. The volumeshows how Irish men and women used photography in order to explore their sense of self and society and examines how we can use these images to fill in the details of Ireland's social history. By exploring this rich array of sources, Snapshot Stories asks what it means to see-to look, to gaze, toglance-in modern Ireland, and explores how conflicts regarding vision and visuality have repeatedly been at the centre of Irish life.

Download or read book Londonderry written by and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated only forty miles north of Boston, Londonderry is one of the fastest growing towns in a rapidly developing region of New England. With the opening of Interstate 93 in 1963, the town's transformation from rural farming community to metropolitan suburb began. Today, as progress inevitably changes the appearance of Londonderry, the town strives to maintain its small-town appeal and rich agricultural heritage. In words and pictures, Londonderry captures the character of the town from the mid-nineteenth century through World War II. Included are early photographs of farms, homesteads, and taverns that have changed very little, and many more photographs of mills, churches, barns, and rail depots that disappeared years ago. Londonderry is also a record of people engaged in a more simple way of life-apple picking, collecting maple syrup, bringing in the hay, and tobogganing on Ela's Hill (now the site of a fast-food restaurant). Londonderry tells a fascinating story to be enjoyed by lifelong residents and newcomers alike.
