If you are looking for a very special property, look no further than No 5 Sylvan Drive. Built in 1972 by O'Malley Construction, this wonderful family home has been meticulously maintained over the years and is perfectly positioned within Fairlands Park, a well laid out development of detached homes. There is ample street parking and a large green area with trees and seating.

Some 100 years before this photograph was taken, most of the area we are looking at would have been under water, the river covered much of what is Woodquay today. Most of the people who lived in the area would have been small farmers or fishermen, their houses (outside the city walls) made of blocks of stone, often with moss stuffed into the crevices and a roof covered partly with straw, partly with turf. The river provided a rich source of food, though in the city, the fishery, from the Salmon Weir to the sea, was privately owned.

A WONDERFUL transatlantic group exhibition is currently running in the Salmon Weir gallery at Corrib Castle, Waterside – a building that has been superbly refurbished and designed by architects Patrick McCabe and Sarah Kelly, and offers stunning views over the Corrib and weir.
