Photographs

Our photo archive contains around 6000 images, exploring the breadth of life in an ever changing Cork.
Our earliest images, dating from 1996, focus on the Northside of Cork City and Blackpool in particular, reflecting our original areas of interest.
Over time we have expanded our perspective to include the wider Cork community.
