Strabane Shops in the 1950s & 1960s
October 16th, 2011 | Posted by in NewsTake a trip down memory lane with the Strabane History Society’s illustrated talk about the Strabane shops from the 1950s and 1960s. The talk was presented in 2006 by Michael Kennedy and details the town’s shops, adverts and trade directory at that time.

A really nice nostalgic snapshot of the town throughout the years. I was particularly interested in seeing all the different style shop-fronts and signs on display at that time and lettering on the vehicles as well. I would be interested in having a closer look at the photos for a in depth research of the signmaking and signwriting trade in the town during the years. Any info on where they can be viewed or copied would be great. Well done to all concerned who compiled the pictures and info.
