    Just checking and St Marys NS doesn't appear to be in the photo in its current form anyway. The current St Marys was opened in 1958 so you are in. the right ball park with the early 50s I would think:D Thats the old school to the left of the church.

    Yep.



    And there usually isn't, I think the higher spring tides fill the flats occasionally and it takes a while to drain away fully.

    As an aside, and sorry for going slightly O/T, but it is a request for a photo and where better to ask than the Donegal Photo thread....


    Anyone have a pic of the huge dune at the end of the Magheraroarty spit from back in the day? It's completely gone now, but it was an amazing sight back in the 80's and 90's - a proper puff of a climb, and nearly a cliff to throw yourself down on the north side. I've tried googling, but can only find pictures of the dunes as a whole, and I don't seem to have any pictures myself (thought it would be there forever!)


    I wonder if it'll build up again in another 30 years?

    Legitimate question, I found it online and not exactly sure myself!
