This year's theme for #NationalHeritageWeek (all 32 counties) is "Heritage at Risk". If anyone feels like doing a little workshop about mapping place names, #benchmarks, sewer vents, jostle stones or anything else heritage and at risk, it would be much appreciated. I'll certainly do one about field names in my local library - will share details asap.

📷 Lost places of #Ireland on 35mm and medium format film 🎞️

Analogue photography moves to a slower beat than digital; its ephemeral nature feels a perfect fit to capture the fragile beauty of abandoned places.

This week is Ireland National Heritage week, and I will be sharing photos and stories from my adventures exploring the country’s disappearing heritage.

Edendork Dance Hall, County Tyrone. Built in 1963, it was once a bustling venue on the Irish showband circuit during the 1960s and 1980s.

When the showband era came to an end in the mid-1980s, dance halls like this began to close down.

Sadly the hall was demolished in 2024

This week is Ireland #NationalHeritageWeek, and I will be sharing photos and stories from my adventures exploring the country’s disappearing heritage.

Not quite the quality I had envisioned, but it's still the result of a lot of research and other work. I used this yesterday for my talk for #NationalHeritageWeek: https://youtu.be/SAVtVelr8q0?si=L2MzMrqxTeYb3ic9
