McGuinness Is Very Good For You…

None whiter…

t’s rare indeed that we here at the motormouthed GG is left speechless… 

But when Steven Goodfellow and Paula McGuinness delivered a batch of early 1980s Greystones pics taken by the latter’s father, well, we was pretty much knocked us sideways.

These shots are just so evocative, casual enough to take you right back.

There’s a real sense of just being there, back in time – walking up to Blacklion in the snow, heading to the South Beach on a ridiculously crowded summer’s day, messing about in beached boats down at the harbour, or, of course, playing tennis-on-ice in the shadow of the La Touche Hotel. We’ve all been there.

In an instant, these photographs bring back memories – from the 1980s, the 1990s, and, given just how evocative they are, even further.

Suffice to say, fair fecks to ya, Luke, for having the force, and the foresight, to preserve the town around you…
