Then/Now Dundalk calendar to be released next week

Local photographer Mark Quigley has certainly caught the eye throughout the year with his Then/Now Project, which combines current images of some of Dundalk’s landmark areas with pictures from the past.

Amongst the areas covered by Mark includes the Market Square, Anne Street, Roden Place, the Castletown Road, the Castle Road and many more.

Now he has put together calendars featuring some of the best images. You can purchase the calendars, priced €10, from next Wednesday, with further details available from here.

A different kind of taxi rank

Crosson’s Garage

Mark Quigley has been busy working on his Then/Now project for the past few weeks and months and here’s another stunning shot of the old Jet Filling Station/Crosson’s Opel Garage on the Dublin Road.
