Ballon, Co. Carlow [demolished]

Ballon, Co.Carlow. This alley is now demolished. The photographs date from 2003 and were sourced from the website of photographer Eddie Dawson, with permission [http://www.eddiedawson.com/publish/current/ed_9.shtml].
The alley had been in poor condition when one wall blew down in a storm some years ago. With no interest to rebuild it, the alley became a hazard for the national school beside it and was first blocked off, then knocked down when the road was widened.
