I had a page with photos of the construction of Ardnacrusha in 1930; I have expanded that page to include
- photos taken in the 1920s by Eyre Chatterton and kindly supplied by Tony and Blair Chatterton
- links to the ESB Archive’s reports made by Siemens during construction; h/t Carthach O’Maonaigh for drawing them to my attention.
See Éimear O’Connor ‘s book, Seán Keating: Art, Politics and Building the Irish Nation (Kildare: Irish Academic Press 2013), for Keating’s beautiful paintings of the construction process.
