The destruction of Phibsborough's built heritage😡 #Dublin #Ireland #Heritage #HeritageAtRisk #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #History

The original Victorian Phibsborough Post Office was located at 336 North Circular Road. Designed by the Board of Public Works surveyor and architect J. Howard Pentland, it was built between 1892 and 1893, before it was unceremoniously demolished in 1974 to make way for the current post office.

The destruction of Phibsborough's built heritage since 1956. I’ve colourised the image and annotated it in red to highlight buildings and structures that were later demolished. #Dublin #Ireland #Heritage #HeritageAtRisk #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #History #TheColourOfIreland

Bringing Ireland's History to Life. 🇮🇪 v 🇩🇪⚽️ My restored, colourised aerial photograph of 40,000 in Dalymount Park, Dublin, watching Ireland’s 3–0 victory over West Germany in an international friendly on 25 November 1956. #Dublin #Ireland #History #COYBIG #TheColourOfIreland

My colourised footage of the 1936 match shows huge crowds at Dalymount Park in Dublin as Ireland secured a famous 5–2 victory over Germany. It was a dramatic reversal: Ireland had played Germany only once before, losing 3–1 in Dortmund in May 1935. #Ireland #History #COYBIG #TheColourOfIreland

I’m delighted that my interview with The Southern Star has been published, and hopefully they'll convert this derelict building into a cultural centre for people to enjoy.🤞🗞️ #Clonakilty #WestCork #Cork #Ireland #Heritage #HeritageAtRisk #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #LinenHeritage

Vacant for over a decade, this c. 1810 two-storey stone warehouse on Henrietta Place, Dublin 1, is one of the city’s hidden gems. In the late 1990s, the building housed the Transylvania Restaurant before it closed a few years later. www.derelictsites.com/3649-a-two-s... #DerelictIreland

Drogheda has been vandalised for years Ironically by property owners who are happy to let their assets lay empty while the community suffer for a lack of homes & places to play & create A social crime, should be treated as such #DerelictIreland
