The Back Alleys of Dundalk

The Back Alleys of Dundalk

Dundalk is a colourful and well maintained town, but if you look in the right places it doesn't take long to find some gritty scenes that lend themselves to a gritty black and white film. These photos were taken in May 2026 over a few different days and are mostly from the Seatown area. The mural in progress celebrates @thecorrsofficial and is by artist @mister_copy who I assume is the chap on the gantry.

I am struggling a bit with my B+W film photography. It's not what I want it to be - which means I am going to do a LOT more of it :-)
