Wheels Around Cork

Both the city and county of Cork are covered in this book, which as in our other 'wheels' titles features a wide range of transport types from trains to buses, bicycles, cars, trams and lorries. Blackwater Bridge at Youghal is shown on the cover - bus passengers had to disembark here and cross the bridge to join another vehicle on the other side following weight restrictions that were introduced in 1939 - a second view inside the book shows them re-embarking having crossed over on foot, by bicycle or by car! Naturally, there are plenty of photographs of Patrick Street, Grand Parade, and other familiar city centre locations in Cork itself, whilst further-flung places featured include: Cronin's Hotel at Gougane Barra, Crosshaven, Glengarriff, Macroom and Monkstown. Although all the photographs have a transport element in them, many will be of interest to general readers, showing as they do locations across the city and county as they used to be.
