The way things were on Stapleton Place

Local snapper Mark Quigley is currently undertaking a photography project called ‘Then/Now’.

As part of the project he is taking old photos of Dundalk and amalgamating them with shots of how things are now.

One of his most recent works concerns Stapleton Place, a street which has generated much debate of late because of the work carried out on it to install cycle lanes.

Mark’s picture gives a timely reminder of what a beautiful and stunning wide street Stapleton Place once was. Whether you agree to cycle lanes or not, it’s certain that the streetscape of Dundalk has suffered from their arrival.

You can view more of Mark’s work on his Facebook page.
