Next Tuesday, 25th October, at 8pm, Kieran McCarthy will give a lecture to Blackpool Historical Society at 8pm in Blackpool Community Centre behind Blackpool church; the title of the talk is “Creating an Irish Free State City: Cork in the 1920s and 1930s”; if you ever wondered how places like Turners Cross and Gurranabraher came into being and want to see Cork in the early twentieth century, this talk will attempt to cover some of those aspects.

Group photo, recent historical walking tour of St Finbarr’s Hospital, October 2011
Thanks to everyone who recently went on the historical walking tour of St. Finbarr’s Hospital.
It was great to get a lunchtime tour off the ground. Thanks to the staff of the hospital for suggesting it! With the weather, it will probably be next year before the next tour of some aspect of the ward. But planning to convert the Douglas lecture given during heritage week into a walking tour and build one around the Blackrock pier area.
