@DCLAReadingRoom Thinking Manx ? Could be very wrong

We recently came by a book that baffled us for a while, can you decipher what language this is? We'll reveal the answer later today. #HeritageWeek2025 #ExploringOurFoundations #MyHeritageWeek #Dublin #CulturalHeritage #DublinHeritage

Brian O 'Looney (1828–1901) of Grove Villa House, Crumlin. Scholar, poet and Gaelic revivalist by Peter Daly at Walkinstown Library on Wednesday 13 August at 6.30pm

@DCLAReadingRoom You've solved a long standing mystery for me with this post. I have an old company Ad from 1913 which mentions 'Ovada' .. now I know what it means 🙂 thank you

Between May 24–31, 1913, the Ovada Bazaar, was held at the RDS. The central hall was transformed into a detailed replica of the Italian town of Ovada, complete with shops, houses, gardens, and landscapes to transport visitors to Italy. Here is the layout

As part of the Crumlin & Walkinstown History festival this weekend, pop up to Armagh Road and check our the exhibition of forty secondary school Future Historian projects on local topics.

@DubLoony Vaguely thinking you could be right! Thanks for the tag

I vaguely remember this might be a Viking word? @ScuffilC

@fallon_donal Lovely event Donal nice to see you there

Fallons in Fallon's.

@cormacmoore @Tim_Mc_Garry Congratulations Cormac

Thanks to everyone who came yesterday evening to the launch of my book The Root of All Evil at No Alibis and thanks to @Tim_Mc_Garry for his wonderful speech. It was a very enjoyable evening with Oisín no doubt stealing the show with his snazzy new jacket.

160 feet of the old wall of Dublin at Lamb Alley WATCH: RTÉ News reports #OnThisDay in 1970 rte.ie/archives/2020/…

@kieranarose @DubLoony Hugely important site historically. Was to be called 'Percy Street' when first built/laid out in the 1600s onwards. Some building fabric may remain from then. Rere boundary is entirely that of the Old City Watercourse. I predict an important archeological dig...

@DubLoony There is a current planning application from the Iveagh Trust .. we live in hope ..

Scaffolding coming down on scheme on Cork Street Dublin 8 across from Weaver Park .. A new pedestrian link north-south from Cork Street to Summer Street will be a major improvement in accessibility for the area ..

@DCLAReadingRoom Amazing images. Map shows many irrigation channels from the City Watercourse at the Back of the Pipes. Tenter posts ('tenterhooks') in the fields at the back of James's St. Support system for The Liberties weaving industry. Thanks for sharing

Built c.1721 near St James' St, Dublin’s City Basin once supplied the city with water. Linked to Grand Canal Harbour in 1785, both were filled in by the 1960s. The Basin became flats & Oisín Kelly Park; the harbour, disused by 1960, was replaced by apartments in 2023.

@DCLAReadingRoom @DubLoony

Looks like the Lord Mayor’s Certificate in Local Studies class had another great field trip with course tutor Cathy Scufil, as part of their course. This time the class travelled to the Blessington area and it looks like the weather cooperated to make it a great day out.

@babystepforever @DubHistorians @dubcilib Any chance of a 'follow'? To make arrangements re photo ...🙂

@DubHistorians @dubcilib Any chance I could get that photo. I run lowes in dolphins barn and always looking to add to it with historic artefacts

History hides in plain sight and a photograph found in an archive illustrates this. Historian Cathy Scuffil investigates the background to a photo taken in Dolphin’s Barn area of Dublin over a century ago Walkinstowm Library, Wed 5 March, 2pm E: walkinstownlibrary@dublincity.ie

@cormacmoore @FourCourtsPress Congratulations Cormac

Just as Fr Dougal McGuire does with rollerblading, I get a great buzz off receiving the first copies of a book I wrote. My book on Laois and the Irish Revolution arrived in the post today from ⁦@FourCourtsPress⁩. Very happy with how it has turned out.

@deirdrecolgan3 Hi Deirdre giving it in Walkinstown Library at 2pm Wednesday (tomorrow). Planning to warehouse it for a while after that as I have a new research project on the go 😁

@ScuffilC Missed it Will you be giving it again?

Thanks so much to all who made it to Dolphin's Barn library last night for this talk. We had a full house. For those who missed it, talk will be repeated in Walkinstown library Wed at 2pm. Many thanks to both library teams for arrangements
