There was a booklet produced a few years ago by Wexford Co. Co, entitled " A view of Courtown" which has some views of the coastline in the 1930s.
It is frightening to see the huge difference between then and now; dozens of houses and hectares of land have just disappeared, the Burrow road which was, at that time, almost half a mile from the sea, now runs parallel to the sea. Scary stuff.
