Bray Co. Wicklow

Developed as a planned resort town in the 19th century modelled on the success of places like Brighton in England. Bray’s popularity as a seaside resort was serviced by the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, which was extended to Bray in 1854. As such various attractions were constructed, large hotels, the Turkish Baths, the Esplanade, seawater bathing facilites, and a large outdoor pool at Naylor’s Cove.
