Sligo: Benbulben, Marian Year Cross At Glencarbury
1954 - The Marian Year. To honour the special devotion to Our Lady, shrines, crosses and grottos were built in many parts of Ireland. Many of these can still be seen today. In the background is one of the many places where barite mining was carried out.
