Eric Luke’s great shots of road bowling in west Cork in the 1980s. Huge down west, one of the only other places in Ireland you will find this sport being played is Antrim.
Eric’s Twitter is full of scans of negatives from the 1980s, including some classic shots from Dalkey Book Fest.
hi Eric
I’ve recently purchased your book which features photos of men road bowling in west cork
I’d like to correct you
These photos were all actually taken in the village of lankill four miles outside westport co mayo where I myself live
I remember the very day you took these photos
I was probably 13 or 14 years old
Some of the characters have since past away but some are in good health but no longer play the sport
