MARINO: AN 18TH CENTURY ARISTOCRATIC HAVEN
Saturday, 13th April at 12 noon. Meet outside Marino Health Centre,
1A Griffith Avenue, Marino, Dublin 3. Marino, once part of the
townland of Donnycarney, was changed forever by its most famous
18th century resident, the Earl of Charlemont who built the famous
Casino there. Join Pat Liddy as he reveals the many sides of this great
man, his accomplishments and the legacy that is Marino today.
STRUMPET CITY & THE LOCKOUT AROUND THE NORTH INNER CITY
Wednesday, 17th April at 7pm. Meet at The Five Lamps, North Strand,
Dublin 1. The Dublin: One City, One Book choice for 2013 is Strumpet City
by James Plunkett and this tour around the North Strand area will look at
the events leading up to the Great Lockout of 1913 and the devastating
effect it had on the local area. www.dublinonecityonebook.ie
MEMORIES OF STRUMPET CITY
Monday, 22nd April at 12 noon. Meet outside St. Kevin’s Church,
Harrington St, Dublin 8. Strumpet City deals powerfully with the
era of tenements, widespread unemployment, poverty and the
Great Lockout and this tour takes us through parts of the city still
awash with memories of more desperate times for Dublin’s working
classes. The tour will conclude at The Church Bar & Restaurant
on Jervis Street where we’ve been kindly invited for an afternoon
session of Irish traditional music. www.dublinonecityonebook.ie
All Walks and Tours last about 90 Minutes and no
advance booking is necessary. All of our historical
walking tours are led by acclaimed historian Pat Liddy.
