Photographs of Ballyduff

Welcome to this website, which has been created to assist people overseas who are looking for pictures of Ballyduff, and everybody else who takes an interest in the history and buildings of the village.


This plaque welcoming visitors to Ballyduff was erected in the summer of 1999

The site consists, at the moment, of a selection of photographs taken by Mr Noel O'Connor, who has done much to record the history of this village. The pictures span a number of years, from the 1990s to the present day. (Double clicking on a picture will enlarge it - use the back arrow to return to the site). Whether you used to live in Ballyduff, or still do, it is hoped that it brings back happy memories.

There is an e-mail address if any visitors to the site wish to send messages to the people of Ballyduff (or the people of Ballyduff wish to send messages to any visitors to the site).
They will be published on a separate page of this site / blog (See list, top right). The e-mail address of the site is:
