Mallow, County Cork

On April 14th, David Knight travelled to Mallow, the "Crossroads of Munster" to photograph the town and its surrounds.

Throughout the centuries the town has prospered as a market town, helped by its rich agricultural hinterland, its central location and its importance on the railway network.

It has survived the 1920s burning and the frequent overflow of the Blackwater. Today, Mallow is a highly attractive town that has retained much of its character.
