The recently launched collection of photos from Waterford News & Star photographer, Joe Evans, 'Colourful Memories of Waterford', provides a vibrant insight into Waterford's past.

The collection, which is a first in a new series, follows on from the success of four volumes of 'We Remember It Well', which proved to be hugely popular with people from or connected to Waterford.

'Colourful Memories of Waterford', which features colourised images from Joe's extensive archive of Waterford News & Star photographs, is now available in the Book Centre.
