Historian and librarian Hugh Oram explores its history by contrasting 45 archive images with full modern photographs taken by Vincent Clarke. Accompanied by detailed and informative captions, each page captures life in the area as it once was—and is now, reveal changing modes of fashion and transportation, shops and businesses, houses and public buildings, and, of course, some of the local people who once lived and worked in the area.

This book will be of great interest to all who know the town as well as providing a vital record of the changing face of Dundrum.
