Stillorgan - Hugh Oram - Bog

Stillorgan: Old and New covers the story of a unique suburb in South Dublin. Until the 1960s, the district was largely rural, with many farms and a scattering of big houses, but few people lived there. The Stillorgan shopping center was opened in 1966-the first in Ireland-and shortly afterwards, the Stillorgan Bowl was opened. In the 1960s, large-scale housing development began; and since then, Stillorgan has become a major residential area in South Dublin with a wide variety of shopping and leisure outlets.
