Mullingar: Irish Historic Towns Atlas

Number 5 in the Irish Historic Towns Atlas series, Mullingar traces the history of this Anglo-Norman town through its cartographic and primary sources from earliest times to c. 1900. The fascicle contains Ordnance Survey and historical maps as well as historic and aerial photographs. An essay describes the topographical evolution of Mullingar and a gazetteer, or topographical information, includes histories of c. 500 sites in the town. These atlases illustrate characteristic periods of town formation in Ireland and reflect the country’s cultural identity through the town’s topographical history.
