A early 20th century view of Bray Head and the promenade in Bray in north County Wicklow, Ireland. In medieval times, it was a small manorial village on the southern border of the Pale, then during the latter part of the 18th century, the Dublin middle-classes began to relocate there. The Dublin and Kingstown Railway was extended as far as Bray in 1854 and the town grew to become a seaside resort, with hotels and residential terraces built in the vicinity of the seafront.
In the interests of transparency (no pun intended) this Photo Chrome image was shot around 1900. The original image has been cleaned, sharpened and enhanced. The sky was bleached out so a new sky has been introduced.
