The field in the
Kilcullen 700/Heritage Week Competition is getting pretty crowded now, and our latest to feature is the window in
Woodbine Books,
writes Brian Byrne.
With memorabilia from the Behan family home, we're brought back to some terrific recollections of the 1950s and 1960s, many of them musical.
The Clancy Brothers LP, with the record player to play it, and a Tom Jones single record from 1966 are part of these. There's a collection of violin lessons and music, and the violin itself. What looks like part of a Hornby train set, a venerable Monopoly board game, and a really special old set of Chinese dominoes tiles ...
And of course, there are books, mainly young people's books, so it's very clear where Dawn and her family got their love of books that underpins the building of today's business.
And there's more ... every time you look closer, there's something else to see.
More to come — I hear the Secret Kloset and An Tearmann windows are also now ready for perusal.
Heritage Week 2019 starts this weekend, and a number of businesses and organisations have signed up to provide a display for the competition, the prizes for which are sponsored by
Bank of Ireland, Kilcullen.
