Heritage walk on Main Street

There was a strong turnout tonight for the first of two Main Street walks conducted by Mary Orford and Nessa Dunlea, writes Brian Byrne.

The event will be repeated tomorrow night from 7pm. The presentation is Kilcullen's contribution to National Heritage Week.

The national theme this year is industry and design. In addition to the group being brought around a number of sites where local businesses started, some of them generations ago, a display of memorabilia in the Heritage Centre, organised by Billy Redmond is a feature of the event.
