Old Photos of Galway

These photos have been posted elsewhere but I thought I’d throw them up here as well. I saw them on the Galway Museum’s Facebook Page and was blown away by them. Its a collection of shots taken by the late artist and photographer Derek Biddulph in the 80’s and early 90’s that he donated to the museums collection. If you know Galway at all, you’ll find them fascinating
