St. Mary's Camera Soiree
A selection of the photographs from the Camera Soiree's exhibition in the Parish Centre last November is on display in Lucan Library until 9th March 2026. If you are in the vicinity do drop in and take a look!
We have some more photos from Kerry submitted by Don this week including one of the Blennerville windmill built in 1800 by order of Sir Rowland Blennerhassett. At the end of the 19th century the mill began to decay but it has been fully restored and is now Ireland's only working windmill.
Irene has been travelling abroad and has sent us a photograph of a bronze statue of the English poet Philip Larkin which you can find outside the Hull Paragon Interchange located in the city centre of Kingston upon Hull in England. Larkin held the post of Librarian at the University of Hull for over 30 years.
Donal has been wandering around County Kilkenny in the aftermath of the flooding caused by storm Chandra and captured the river Barrow in full flow at Graignamanagha. More peaceful is his photo of the Upper Tinnahinch lock, part of the Barrow navigation which allows barges to bypass shallow areas of the river.
Finally, Donal submitted a photo St. James Church of Ireland and its round tower in Castledermot. The church was built around 1830. The tower is apparently unique in that it is on the north side of the church whereas they are usually found west of a church.
Stay safe until next week!
