Another one from Dad’s vault.

I believe this is from the PAYE Strikes in 1979/80.

A powerful and moving event for Féile 2025 at the Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin in Derry tonight.

Peter Taylor in conversation with Raymond McCartney was a complex and often uncomfortable confrontation with the past and its many truths.

Míle Buíochas to all.

Beautiful editions of a collection from my childhood.

Marita Conlon McKenna had such an influence on my young mind. I love her work.

I came across this beautiful gem recently in the Mother Jones Flea Market

A comprehensive history of Order in city, the ads included are a snapshot of Cork’s social history.

It was produced to mark the opening of the ‘new’ St Francis Church, Liberty St in 1953

Just joined to show off passions for vintage book buying & the History of Belief. So, posts range from Saints to Sinners, Rites to Rights, and all things my hometown: Cork City!
