7.1K You can also check out some incredible 19th century shots of Greystones from our famous resident, Robert French, right here, along with an in-depth analysis here of many of the great Lawrence photographer’s Greystones photographs by local fisherman-turned-author Seamus Hayden. Talking of French, there’s also a clever video contrasting Greystones then with now by local filmmaker Jake McKone right here.

Thank you for putting these up. You’ve done us a great service and you’ve obviously expended a good bit of time and effort on it all.
What a wonderful history of Greystones
Thanks for sharing all the photos. I got a surprise to see my little face in the St.Laurence’s pic. All of 40 years ago now. Brought heaps of vague memories back, when we were in the 2 little prefabs outside St.Kevins CBS. Yes. Thanks for sharing

An amazing trip down memory lane but I’m just a blow in. Only moved to Greystones circa 1960 🙂 – Kevin Hoey
Looking for any staff who I worked with at the Horse and Hound in Delgany, Co. Wicklow back in the eighties would love to hear from them.
My name is Ann or some people called me Annie and I am from the North of Ireland.
Great looking at the photo’s … I am researching the woodlands hotel, Greystones particularly aroun 1970 so if you have any more pics or news articles I would be very interested in them … Cheers
Great photos – enjoying them all in Australia with many fond memories of Greystones.
