Salthill on a sunny day in 1966. The beaches are busy but, as our aerial photo shows, the western side of the resort was then sparsely populated as the building of housing estates was just getting underway (centre of photo). The large green area in the centre foreground was a pitch and putt club, while middle right is Pearse Stadium. On the left is Galway Golf Links, as it was known then, with St Enda's Secondary School just above it. The vastness in the background is now all developed as different estates in Knocknacarra.
