Ireland in Images Then & Now
Photographs of Ireland, Then and Now
We came across these images of historic Ireland and were captivated by the stories they tell and by how much they reveal about life in Ireland over the
past 150 years. While much has changed in that time, a surprising amount has remained the same.
Intrigued and inspired, we wanted to see how Ireland had changed over time by capturing the same scenes today. Initially, we headed out to take our own
photos, capturing what these same Irish scenes look like today. In other regions, we even used Google Street View to give a 360° interactive
experience of the scene.
Fashion and architecture, modes of transport and advertising, all have changed drastically over the past century and a half. But perhaps most fascinating
are the details which have not changed; the buildings, businesses and landmarks which Irish people walk past every day, and the little human touches which
make Ireland what it was then and what it is now.
Zoom in on Ireland's rich history as it is relived in images past and present.
