Good response to 'Memories' day plan

Building a day of rememberingA number of photographs and other memorabilia have been made available to the organisers of the 'Memories of Main Street' heritage event next month, writes Brian Byrne.

According to Mary Orford, there has already been a good response to appeals for the loan of materials for the August 18 event, which will be the Kilcullen contribution to National Heritage Week.

A rolling slide show of the materials will be part of the afternoon in the Kilcullen Heritage Centre, but the main attraction will be chatting with and swapping stories from former residents of Main Street and their families.

The event will also provide a recorded resource for future generations of what it was like to live on Kilcullen's Main Street through from as far back as the 1940s.

Anybody who wants to provide material should in the first instance contact Kilcullen Heritage Centre, open every weekday morning. Photos and documents will be scanned and copied and returned to their owners.
