Men and Women of The South – Cobh’s Revolutionary Legacy
‘Cork Harbour Islands Project (C.H.I.P.) will be holding their next Exhibition ‘Men and Women of The South – Cobh’s Revolutionary Legacy’ in Cobh Maritime Building, Railway Station, Cobh opening on 10th September. This year’s Exhibition will focus on the Cobh men who were involved in the revolutionary period and who have been commemorated in the town by having a street or an estate called after them. The Exhibition will look at their lives, activities during the war of independence or civil war, and the process by which it was decided to honour them in the town. We would also be recognising the input of the many Cobh women who were involved in this important period of time in our country’s history.
As usual we are looking for any information, memorabilia and in particular photographs that would relate to either the lives of these men and women. HOWEVER we are PARTICULARLY looking for any information relating to the families that have lived in these streets/estates over the years – this would be photos/stories etc etc. Everything is of interest to us no matter how small as it is only by recording this information that it is preserved for generations to come. Some of the Estates we are interested in are;
O’SULLIVANS PLACE /STACK TERRACE/GLAVINS TERRACE /MOORES PLACE/AHERN PLACE/MICHAEL BURKE TERRACE/JOE REID PLACE/O’HALLORANS PLACE/CLONMULT TERRACE/PHILIP O’NEILL PLACE Etc
