Housing Memories 1935
Thatched houses of Co. Wexford from 1935
Here are 12 images from the collection of Swedish man, Albert Eskeröd who came to Ireland in 1935 and documented rural dwellings and farmhouses around Ireland. These are a just selection from my own county of Wexford and include examples from Ferns, Bannow, Kilmore, Lady's Island, Kilmore Quay, Duncormick, Tullycanna and Taghmon. These are amazing images and such valuable resource for us in Ireland thanks to The National Folklore Collection. I've tweaked brightness and added a bit of colour to give them a little more life. As always please LIKE folklore.ie to see more.
