But it is a gloomy, moody place
Don’t know what you mean. I was there yesterday and it was lovely! 🙂
.ah so the sun does shine in Drogheda 🙂 nice pics devin.
Pffft – I take you happy clappy Wogan’s Interiors and raise you the glorious St. Peter’s:
Moody I tell ya – moody 🙂
Nice pics there – the St. Laurence Gate is a great feature in the town. Surprised it wasn’t knocked in 1963 as a ‘hinderance to the flow of traffic and the wider economic expansionary needs of the conurbation’ :rolleyes:
Drogheda is really looking up of late – got a great mix of (really) ancient heritage, contemporary developments, and everything in between, as the above pictures demonstrate. Quite a few remnants of 1950s Ireland about – even 1970s Ireland which are becoming increasingly (and for the most part thankfully) rare.
Just a pity about the dross that’s enveloping every field in a mile radius of the town.That’s moody, for sure!
Who designed the pedestrian bridge anyway? McGarry NiEanaighs? Just guessing cos the deck & rails are similar to their Cork bridge and boardwalk.
One thing I find weird about the bridge is that it’s so narrow. There’s a constant procession of people across it and it could have done with being a bit more generous in the width department.@Paul Clerkin wrote:
Douglas Wallace I think….
The bridge was designed by Douglas Wallace Architects indeed.

I think the bridge works well because it’s narrow – any poor ejit that stops on the bridge for a chat is quickly moved on by force of numbers – great, keeps everything moving
