With a growing population, beautiful scenery and a fantastic atmosphere, Lismore is fast becoming one of the must visit tourist destinations in the South East of Ireland. This book, compiled by local author Eugene Dennis, shows at its very best the town's past and present. It concentrates heavily on pictures of the people and well-known features of the town. It features pictures of locals working and playing amidst the beauty and charm of this spectacularly located hamlet. The pictures and images included form part of what the author calls, the people's photographs, those pictures that remain hidden from the outside world, held not in archives but peoples homes and houses. They were collected and sorted by Project SMILE (Snaps, Momentous and Immemorial of Lismore and Environs). This book will appeal to all those who know Lismore well and are familiar with its people and also those who are only now discovering the beauty of this charming town.
