Bottom left. You can see how the orientation of the ground has changed.

There are loads of pics of Dublin and other towns, so their might be other old pics of grounds to be found.

That's great. Thank you for that.

It's 1953 according to the photo though.

Think they changed the orientation at OP in the mid-60s? 1966, maybe?

1966 is right, good article from local paper The Argus here....

Britain from above with a map of Scotland/England and Wales to the right yet Dundalk is featured. Strange one.

Pictures then and now I always find interesting. One of Milltown once upon a time and now make for sad viewing :(
