A very agricultural view of Stillorgan in County Dublin today from the lens of Mr. Morgan, I doubt anyone on here has ever seen Stillorgan looking so rural, so out in the countryside? The object of the commission appears to have been the church and rectory but as usual with Morgan images it contains so much more!

Photo is taken looking south, with Stillorgan village behind the camera. A very new looking Merville rd is south of St. Brigid's church. The fields top left are part of St. John of God's and are still largely fields.

Ard Lorcain (marked on main image) played an unusual role in the history of Irish retailing. The developers of the nearby Shopping Centre (Irelands first) needed a site to re-house inhabitants of old cottages on the soon-to-be retail site. As luck would have it, Ard Lorcain came up for sale and the developers bought it and erected Chalets to rehouse the locals.
