Over 25 loose, large-format pages reproduce old maps, plans and views, alongside reconstructions and thematic maps to help tell the story of Youghal in a visual way. An accompanying text section includes an explanatory essay and historical gazetteer with over 1,500 entries on features of the townscape such as streets, schools, town walls, tanneries etc. Also included is a CD-ROM where the text is word searchable and the maps and images are in high resolution allowing for detailed examination.
