Ballinasloe, 1845. Creator: Unknown
Ballinasloe, 1845. Market-place in Ballinasloe, a town in the west of Ireland. Though a small place, it is one of the most prosperous towns in the county of Galway. Ballinasloe is a handsome town, and is singularly neat and clean, owing to the constant solicitude of the noble owner, Viscount Dunlo. The streets are paved, the houses well kept, and the cottages neatly thatched and whitewashed. The church is an elegant stone structure, and the market-place...much resembles that of an English town: would that such scenes were less rare in Ireland. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to Ballinasloe in 1845, a prosperous town nestled in the scenic west of Ireland. The image showcases the vibrant market-place, bustling with activity and brimming with life. Despite its small size, Ballinasloe stands out as one of the most thriving towns in Galway County. The photograph captures the essence of this handsome town, renowned for its neatness and cleanliness. Thanks to Viscount Dunlo's constant care and attention, the streets are paved immaculately while houses are well-maintained. The charming cottages dotting the landscape boast neatly thatched roofs and whitewashed walls. An elegant stone church graces Ballinasloe's skyline, adding to its architectural beauty. Remarkably reminiscent of an English town square, this market-place is a testament to prosperity and commerce during that era. One can't help but yearn for such scenes to be more commonplace throughout Ireland. Published in "Illustrated London News" in 1845, this engraving provides a glimpse into daily life at that time. It portrays men and women engaging in trade at various market stalls while newspapers capture their attention nearby. Although created by an unknown artist or photographer, this print serves as a valuable historical artifact from 19th century Britain. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images collection today, it allows us to appreciate both the rich history of Ballinasloe and the enduring charm of Irish towns like it across centuries past.
