Cork in the snow in 1947.

Two photos this time. One of people clearing the snow from the pavement on Academy Street in 1947, the harshest winter in modern times in Ireland.

And in stark contrast, another of people enjoying the snow on Grand Parade in 1947. Looks like they’re in the middle of a snowball fight!
