Heritage Week 2023
I have reviewed the listing of Heritage Week events for 2023 and the list of IH related events can be found here.
Some counties have no events of any nature on the Heritage Week site – I may do an update to the list at the start of August to see if any late events of interest are added.
Mid and East Antrim Industrial Heritage
Per the Newsletter, there is a week of IH events coming up from 4th – 10th June in Mid and East Antrim.
West Cork Railway book
In 2022, a book was published – “West Cork Railways – Birth Beauty and Betrayal”, written by Chris Larkin. Out of print, a revised 2nd edition is due to be launched on 28th May in the Oriel House in Ballinhassig.
The above titled lecture, given by Lar Joye (Heritage Officer for Dublin Port Company) will be held on 29th March 2023 in the Milestone Gallery at Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin at 19:30.
The Irish Examiner and Echolive.ie (the former has a soft paywall) have both reported on the discovery of archives of the Cork firm Johnson & Perrott, nowadays a car dealership but which started life in carriage manufacturing.
The archives have been donated to the Cork City Archives and there is apparently an exhibition about the company in the Cork Public Musuem, but I can find no reference to this on the latter’s website.
