A day to celebrate and remember Cork’s past

THOSE WHO WENT BEFORE US: Children from the Marsh area of Cork at the Coal Quay in 1930. Local historian Liam O’hÚigin will recall his own days growing up in the Middle Parish as part of Cork Heritage Open Day on Friday
WHO remembers playing chessies, conkers or plainy clappy back in the day, when children joyfully sported and played together on the main streets and back-streets of Cork?


Cork Heritage Open Day takes place on August 15 and also marks the start of Heritage Week. The Echo are the media sponsors of the day.
The Explore Cork website shows lovely old images of Cork, including a video, ‘Cork: A Trip Down Memory Lane’, created by The Echo of how the buildings and the streets of Cork looked in times gone by.
