Between the Mountains and the Sea: Dun Laoghaire-rathdown County

New edition of this unique book, fully revised and updated. Includes a 32-page colour introduction highlighting changes since the first edition. Dublin city is blessed in its location, between the splendid Dublin/Wicklow mountains and the beautiful Dublin bay, and in this setting the hinterland of the city has grown over the centuries into a rich heritage of inner and outer suburbs as important as the city centre itself. In this book, Pearson tells of the geographical, economic and social history of this area, its famous inhabitants, its agricultural development, methods of transport, sport and recreational aspects, but most of all he details the architectural heritage of the county which is studded with riches from many different eras, and with the most desirable homes in the country. Illustrated with over 700 photographs, old prints, maps, etchings.
