1930: Ballybride Athletics team - do you recognise anyone in the photo? (Special thanks to Tom F for this photograph. Click on it to enlarge with the names of those present)

1931: This picture was taken in September 1931 - the house photographed is still in use today and has been recently renovated. The people in the photo are believed to be Kate Dalton and her son Nicholas. Both of them appear the following year in the List of Electorate (1932). The photo is quite small so we cannot be fully certain. Nicholas also appears in the 1930 Athletic team photo.

1950: Ballybride in 1950 - do you recognise any of the people one in the photo? I will give you a clue - this is the first house on the road!

1955: Ann Henry, Molly Geraghty (Anne's granny) and Teresa Hanley.
