Today a special treat –some color prints! Part and parcel to the negatives, there are thousands of prints. Most from the 1950’s forward are color. Some are in albums, many are loose. We all have those boxes of loose photos we’re going to get to someday, right? This is a treasure trove of images, some of which have captions on the back! Having found some of the images we’d printed in BW on the contact sheets, I’ve substituted the color images for the BW contact sheet images. And, thanks to information commented, sent, texted and called in, I have updated some of the captions on many of the blog pages. So, look around, most of the pages have had some change or updating. Cheers, Sioban

BB and MB, Healy Pass. 1960. Image 131.1_P_C_FFT. “The original track, called the Kerry Pass, was cut during the Great Famine as a poor relief public works project. It was renamed for Timothy Michael Healy, former Governor-General of the Irish Free State, who died in 1931 shortly after the road was improved. The name “Healy Pass” is now also applied to the pass itself, previously called Ballaghscart or Ballyscarta, anglicisations of Irish: Bealach Scairte, which remains its Irish name” – Wikipedia
