Aston Quay 1942 – Historic Dublin River Liffey Photo


Explore Aston Quay in 1942, a revealing snapshot of Dublin during the Emergency, when Ireland maintained neutrality under Taoiseach Éamon de Valera. For historians, this moment highlights how the capital’s commercial centre functioned amid wartime shortages and trade restrictions. The scene offers valuable insight into Ireland’s mid-20th-century governance, economic resilience, and the foundations of its later transformation into a modern, globally connected economy.
