Clondalkin Village 1957 – Old Irish Village Street Scene

Clondalkin Village, located about 10?km west of Dublin city centre, has ancient roots dating back to a monastic settlement founded over 1,400 years ago by Saint Crónán?Mochua on the banks of the River Camac. One of its most iconic landmarks is the 8th century Clondalkin Round Tower, one of only a few such medieval towers in County Dublin, which stands as a reminder of the area’s early Christian and Viking era history. Over the centuries, the village grew from its rural and monastic origins into a busy local centre by the mid 20th century, with 1957 capturing life in a community balancing its long heritage with post-war change and development.
