What a fascinating concept! Bringing two photographs taken more than seventy years apart into a single frame really shows the power of photography. I particularly appreciate the effort to uncover the people and stories behind the original image. A remarkable project! 📷

Oran that's a friend of mine Mother, Mrs Farrell from Ballytruckle. Her husband Eddie took some fabulous street scenes from around Waterford in the 50's & 60's many of which are famous shots today. @audik5
