Step back in time with this photograph of the Killarney Rock Tunnel, located on the Kenmare Road en route to the Gap of Dunloe in County Kerry, Ireland. Dating back to the 1930s, this black-and-white image showcases the intriguing history and engineering marvel of this tunnel, which was carved through solid rock to create a passageway for transportation. The Killarney Rock Tunnel is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the people who built it, as it required the use of pickaxes, drills, and explosives to create a passageway through the rugged terrain.
