About this audio guide
This guide to the Blackrock Diving Tower in Salthill, Galway, treats the yellow tower at the end of the prom as a structure that has never been left alone. It reaches back to its completion in nineteen fifty-three, when Blackrock was a men-only bathing place, and forward through decades of salt, wind, paint and council plans. Stand on the walkway facing the tower to hear it, with the ladders and platforms in view.
