The Mall,Tralee
Postcard photograph of Tralee town centre posted to the USA in 1958.The sender describes the town as a "nice little place"and refers to the song The Rose of Tralee which he describes as wonderful. The postcard depicts a typical scene "down town" in the late 1950s. The bicycle still predominates over the motorcar and the traditional form of dress known as the shawl is still in evidence. An unusual feature of this postcard is the almost clear blue sky which is very rarely found in Tralee.
