Galway landmarks.

Bit off topic as not really in the UK, but as close as I could get. This used to hang on the wall in The Claddagh (you probably remember it Reg), but was taken down a couple of years ago and flung in the stock room next to the toilets. Shame really, as it's a lovely painting which must have taken someone a lot of time and effort. 3rdForum will probably have been pissed in all the pubs you can see on here.

That is fab and probably worth a few bob to the right person.

Ah! Salthill...The Galway Girl.

Nah, it's still there I think. It's about 4 foot square, too big to get home. Them airport handlers would destroy it!

Haha! He had to modernise the seats, your arse fell through the wicker-work on the old ones! There was thin cushions on them and you didn't know 'til you sat down! €30 sounds about right. He's canny with the dosh is Gerry, he was brought up without any so he makes do and mends. Good lad.

If that is a painting on canvas and not a photograph, why don´t you rescue it. I would keep it in my garage until you could strip it from the frame and then you could get it home easily. I'd check it out for you except I don´t know Gerry but my bestest mate AG does so I may get him to check it out for you. Only trouble is if it is worth anything he will know and do a deal himself

I think it's a print. If you zoom in to bottom right you see "Zenith Publications" then "Artwork by ******(I can't make it out). If it was worth money Gerry would know believe me! Right I'm off out. Laters!
