Digital copy of an informal group photograph [black and white] of road workers beside a stream-roller, two wheel-barrows and other tools and implements, on the Creggs Road in Ballygar, Co. Galway.
Depicted are 11 men, most are clean-shaven, wearing peaked caps, and waist costs with their shirt sleeves rolled up. One man, possibly a visiting engineer / ganger, is wearing a suit and hat with a watch chain. Two men are standing in the cabin of the steamroller, one with a wrench in his hands. Two are seating on a wheel-barrow to the fore of the photograph, and three others are behind them leaning against a stonewall.
The original photograph is obviously damaged with a piece missing in the centre, obliterating the face and upper body of one man.
