That's amazing. I don't suppose anyone took any photos?

I remember back in the 60s there was a house on the hill almost facing the Martello Tower. Someone told me that Eamonn Andrews lived in there and I sat in the dunes and pondered how lives can be so different.

Thanks Boxie and Paddy. Paddy I think I have more of Temple Street. I've a big bunch of pics to get through and if I find the Temple Street ones I'll PM you after I upload.

Eamon Andrews did live at the back of the hill, he was next door neighbour to the owners of the Martello Tower. He was a very descent chap and I spoke with him a few times when I was a teenager .... one time he was putting out his bin and we had a little chat ... no airs and graces but just an ordinary man.
