Woodlawn, County Galway, is an area rich in archaeology, history, architecture and politics. It is unique in its character and yet emblematic of the story of many rural communities across Ireland. In this new work, which is the result of a decade of research by Woodlawn Heritage Group, this history is explored in a beautifully illustrated volume. Aspects of this story include the landed estate of Woodlawn House, the railway and postal services, education, emigration and a selection of personal stories of its people. This collection is accompanied by poignant and revealing illustrations to create an invaluable record for all with a connection to Woodlawn's past and present.
