Title A name given to the resource If the Walls Could Talk: Stories of Cork's Built Heritage (2013) Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource In 2013, the Cork Folklore Project was commissioned by Cork City Council as part of Cork Heritage Open Day to create a film exploring the relationship between some of Cork's most historic buildings and the people who use them. The project carried out a series of interviews with local historians, people associated with the buildings, and Cork residents (the interviews in this collection were carried out by Mark Wilkins), and drew on existing audio and video interviews. Interviews in this collection featured in the DVD discuss the Trinity Presbyterian Church, the National Sculpture Factory, the Custom House/Port of Cork, the Pavilion, the Masonic Hall, Triskel/Christchurch, Cork Vision Centre, South Presentation Convent, Elizabeth Fort, St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, UCC Crawford Observatory and Blackrock Castle Observatory. The overall built heritage project was continued throughout 2013 and 2014 in order to create an interview collection and DVD on the other buildings featured in Cork Heritage Open Day. Interviews about UCC Boole Library and Cork City Opera House, which were not featured in the first DVD, form part of this collection. The DVD was edited by Ian Stephenson, and featured music by Mark Wilkins and photography by Gráinne McGee. The project was co-ordinated by Mary O’Driscoll. The film contributed to Cork City Council’s Cork Heritage Open day, winning the Irish Heritage Council Heritage Week 2013 Award for the Best Interactive Event. A second DVD was produced by the Cork Folklore Project in 2015, drawing on further interviews carried out by Mark Wilkins, entitled If the Stones Could Speak. Support: this project was part-funded by Cork City Council.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com M W: Could you tell me a little bit there just what you were saying before I recorded there of -- was their ghosts in the belfry or some myth like that? R H: Yeah, there was a story in 1840 em there was kinda ghosts -- there was very -- a lot of superstitions around the place of course and every now and again, there’d be fellas, maybe locals just doing the maggot basically and they’d be kinda knocking on walls and they’d be making noises and people would be saying oh tis a ghost. I know there was one case in up in the Quaker Meeting -- the Quaker graveyard in Windmill Road there you know -- or Quaker Road, em like that now there was stones being thrown over the roof on to the lodge where the graveyard is and of course they thought twas a ghost and people were seeing all kinds of things on the roof and everything but twas only a couple of guys throwing stones like you know? But going back then to around 1840 I think it was, there was a -- something similar -- not stone-throwing now but there was unusual noises let’s say being heard in the vicinity of the old cathedral now, not the present one, so you’re talking twenty years before the present one was built, twenty-odd years. So again hundreds of people were gathering in the area waiting to see some supernatural event and the church authorities or the cathedral authorities got in such a tizzy over it that they decided to perform an exhumation of a woman who had been just buried maybe a few days before in one of the aisles of the cathedral. And so they dug her up anyway and they were quite happy when they opened the coffin that she was as dead as they’d left her the last time, you know was what the saying said like. So she was dead anyway so they locked her up again and buried her again and everybody went away. But afterwards they put up a ladder and had a look up in the belfry and they found a pair of owls [laughs] which were the source of the noises, you know. But I mean, as I said it just begs the question like, the mentality that was there they’d -- why didn’t they put up the ladder first and have a look in the belfry? Their first thing they did was dig up a woman who had died like you know. [laughs] I mean what would be the easiest thing to do -- We’ll have a look in the belfry first or we’ll exhume somebody like you know, but they did the exhumation first before they looked in the belfry you know. [laughs] So. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Roger Herlihy: Barrack Street, Saint Fin Barre’s cathedral, William Burgess, Elizabeth Fort, Jimmy Page, Pavilion cinema, Second World War Subject The topic of the resource Cork's Built Heritage Description An account of the resource Ronnie talks about some of the buildings of the South Parish, such as Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral and Elizabeth Fort, and comments on some related photographs. Ronnie (b. circa 1963)talks about the laying of the foundation stone for Saint Fin Barre’s and the introduction of ‘the goldie angel’, a statue that was afterwards said to be the herald of the end of the world. The architect was William Burgess, and guitarist Jimmy Page, who lives in the architect’s house, came to Cork in 2005 to talk about Burgess. Ronnie tells a story about people hearing what they thought was a ghost in the cathedral and exhuming a recent burial, only to find that the strange noises were coming from owls in the belfry. He mentions Elizabeth Fort, and the Gateway Bar, believed to have been established in 1698, and the oldest surviving pub in Cork city. During the Second World War, the fort housed an air raid shelter, and he names other shelter locations in the city. Ronnie discusses a photograph of the old barracks building in Barrack Street, which dated to the 1700s and which was burned out during the Civil War. The barracks were housed in Elizabeth Fort, and he gives a history of the buildings’ use. Note: this interview was conducted for the DVD If the Walls Could Talk.

Again you look towards the river, with the Sextant corner straight ahead on your right and the opening behind it, which took the track from where the Elysian Tower and complex is now, that was known as the Victoria Quay siding and despite the fact that traffic was going slow, be it road or be it rail, just by the Sextant Bar cutting was the, that was the scene of a fatal accident in 1945, a steam engine as it would have been at the time, pulling some six wagons of grain up from after being loaded off a ship on Victoria Quay, which is now Kennedy Quay, down towards where we’d say the Idle Hour bar and Victoria Road would be, it was proceeding, and the rules of the time were five miles an hour and preceded by a flag man, it the engine was coming out of the siding on to Albert Quay, Albert Street, right in front of the sculpture factory, when it collided with a horse and dray, now the man that was driving the horse and cart sadly was seriously injured and died on the scene, and his name was Walsh and he came from Custom House Street, now Custom House Street is a wide street now but it was a much narrower street at that stage, at that time. There are still some houses in Anderson’s Street, which is a very narrow street there between Parnell Place and Custom House Street and they would have been typical of the houses that would have been in Custom House Street, it was widened when Jury’s Hotel was built and the grain silos, mills and warehouses there were knocked for that building. My mother, my late mother remembers the story of them being trapped for hours in the wreckage and she said all the doctors could do there, they couldn’t free him, was to give him morphine, but he died on, he died at the scene. That was in 1945. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com D B: William Henry Beamish who was probably managing director or managing partner of Beamish and Crawford was provincial deputy grand master or vice president as such of the province of Munster for a long time he was deputy to Lord Bandon, the fourth Earl of Bandon whose portrait is on the stairs, that was very much in those days a ceremonial title and it was the deputy who did all the work. We have two oil portraits in the Lodge Room one over each of the entrance doors, one is of William Henry Beamish and one is of a man called Anderson Cooper who was head of the provincial Bank of Ireland here in Cork for a long time. Freemasonry always been a bit unusual in that it attracts people of rank and no rank, privilege and no privilege in equal measure and even today you would have, from the unemployed student and the taxi driver through the farmer and shopkeeper to the substantial property owner and you know, the modern day successor of the so called ‘landlord’, and it was always like that. I think, in some families it might of ran in families in inverted commas but there, I think the oldest family with continuous linkage with Freemasonry proven back as far as the 1720’s when our records begin in 1725, would be the Noonan family and they would have been property owners in Cork and in Carrigaline for a long number of years. But it would vary hugely you would have a lot of generations skipped in families you know it doesn’t always follow through. M W: If you went back a little bit of, back there a small bit to Elizabeth St. Ledger, did she continue as a Freemason?, I mean -- D B: She did M W: She did? D B: To her death. M W: Yeah, so it wasn’t just that like she stuck, you the legend is you know she stumbled across the ritual and they, you know -- D B: And they had to initiate her -- M W: Had to initiate her and -- D B: And in those days there, there were only two degrees of membership, now, since then are three or it was divided out a bit more to three but no she was given the then two full degrees of membership and it would appear that she became chairperson of her lodge in time and [pause] some of the organisations even still extend today even the women only some of them refer to each other as brother and worship and master even though they are women, they don’t say sister and worship and mistress at all. So it is a bit peculiar and I am not sure how it works in co-masonry. But from what I can see, she was, I think she was subscriber to a Masonic publication where she would have given money to purchase a copy before it came out to help it on its way. And -- M W: Because you know like I was just reading up on when she was buried in St. Finbarres like didn’t the, I can’t remember the details now but didn’t the like the Cork Freemasons probably this crowd here didn’t they? D B: They would have attended I am sure. M W: They would have attended like yeah. D B: Well she probably got a Masonic funeral which isn’t something that has happened for a long time it is long gone. I think it was still happening in the mid to late eighteen-hundredths but not since it wouldn’t, I suppose it would have involved people attending wearing their officer's attire and so on and you know that kind of thing. It gives a bit of pomp and circumstance. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Butler: Elizabeth Aldworth, William Henry Beamish, David J Butler, Anderson Cooper, Freemasonry, Elizabeth St Leger, Tuckey Street Subject The topic of the resource Cork's Built Heritage Description An account of the resource David is a member of the Freemasons and talks about the Masonic Hall building on Tuckey Street. It dates back to the late 1700s when it was used as a meeting place for several different groups until it was bought by the Freemasons in 1844. He lists several links between Saint Fin Barres Cathedral and the Cork Freemasons and mentions some local historical figures who were Cork masons, such as William Henry Beamish. He portrays Freemasonry as a classless fraternity and explains that the criterion for membership is a belief in a Supreme Being as the originator of the universe, regardless of a person’s religious denomination. He talks about Elizabeth St Leger, a rare woman Freemason. Note: this interview was conducted for the DVD If the Walls Could Talk.

Title A name given to the resource If the Walls Could Talk: Stories of Cork's Built Heritage (2013) Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource In 2013, the Cork Folklore Project was commissioned by Cork City Council as part of Cork Heritage Open Day to create a film exploring the relationship between some of Cork's most historic buildings and the people who use them. The project carried out a series of interviews with local historians, people associated with the buildings, and Cork residents (the interviews in this collection were carried out by Mark Wilkins), and drew on existing audio and video interviews. Interviews in this collection featured in the DVD discuss the Trinity Presbyterian Church, the National Sculpture Factory, the Custom House/Port of Cork, the Pavilion, the Masonic Hall, Triskel/Christchurch, Cork Vision Centre, South Presentation Convent, Elizabeth Fort, St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, UCC Crawford Observatory and Blackrock Castle Observatory. The overall built heritage project was continued throughout 2013 and 2014 in order to create an interview collection and DVD on the other buildings featured in Cork Heritage Open Day. Interviews about UCC Boole Library and Cork City Opera House, which were not featured in the first DVD, form part of this collection. The DVD was edited by Ian Stephenson, and featured music by Mark Wilkins and photography by Gráinne McGee. The project was co-ordinated by Mary O’Driscoll. The film contributed to Cork City Council’s Cork Heritage Open day, winning the Irish Heritage Council Heritage Week 2013 Award for the Best Interactive Event. A second DVD was produced by the Cork Folklore Project in 2015, drawing on further interviews carried out by Mark Wilkins, entitled If the Stones Could Speak. Support: this project was part-funded by Cork City Council.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com M W: That’s very good. Ok [pause], the crooked steeple, you're probably sick of telling people about the story of the crooked steeple. J F: Well it’s a good story, now Chris Southgate who is a heritage architect in Cork and has done some work for us. He got a cherry picker up and got a good look at it and assured me it was just, weathering on the weather side, after it was built, you know, the prevailing wind and rain washed and watered out on one side and so it tilted in that direction but they are lots, and I am happy that it is reasonably safe, we had a bit of work done back in 2010 just before the President came and some beautiful photographs were in The Echo at that time. [Pause] Chris tells me it’s quite safe so that’s good, all sorts of stories that the workmen back in 1861 had a row with the architect, could happen so he did it on purpose or even and then they were drunk and that when the scaffolding came off and on the whole, the sign of their drunkenness was all there. The worst story maybe I shouldn’t even tell you this, but two gentlemen, I was working away in the Church grounds and the garden just dressed in ordinary clothes, and two Cork men came in just to see the church, and they said to me, I won’t try a Cork accent because I come from the North but they said you know the boy that designed this church, he hanged himself in that tower and I said don’t you tell me that. It was the first time I ever heard that and they were convinced, what it, I never heard that story before and I would deny it, what I think they were mixing up was the tragic story about Christ The King Church down at Turners Cross, where they was a over, a huge overrun apparently, and the story is that the architect, did take his own life. M W: Lynch is that his name, was it? J F: It may have been yeah. M W: Yeah, yeah, yeah. J F: So I think they mixed up the two stories but -- M W: Yeah. J F: So we have a crooked spire but it is quite safe and there is no, as far as I know, no tragic story with it. M W: Okay, I like the idea of the guys been drunk or maybe just doing it to spite the architect or something kind of, there is something very Cork about that. J F: Well that is there is no documentary evidence for that. M W: Yeah I know, there is always a rational explanation which is not as amusing or entertaining. J F: Walter Burrell whose, who used to be a seamen’s missionary on the docks of Cork, he had these wonderful slide shows and I was there with him once in a National School showing slides about the ships and the docks and he says, quick as a fire there is the crooked spire of Trinity Presbyterian which represents, represents the crooked mans nature, he said, of human beings and I thought well Walter that’s as good an explanation as any, a good reminder [laughs] so.

Title A name given to the resource John Farris: Cash’s Stores, Presbyterians, Social Class, Trinity Presbyterian Church, Unitarian church Subject The topic of the resource Cork's Built Heritage Description An account of the resource Minister Farris talks about the history of the Trinity Presbyterian Church, York Street. He talks about the present church building, which was established in 1861. He comments on its crooked steeple and the stories associated with it. The site of the church may once have been a drovers’ field for animals brought into the city. Some of the congregation continued to worship at an earlier church in Queen Street (Father Mathew Street), a decision informed by distinctions of social class. The church got an organ in 1904, supplied by the Cork firm of Magahy. The church had been built in a Gothic style by English architect John Tarring. Minister Farris talks about members of the congregation who died in the First World War. Note: this interview was conducted for the DVD If the Walls Could Talk.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com ROS Blackrock Castle was built between 1582 and 1604 and it was built on a limestone outcrop onto the river, because this is a really deep harbour, it’s a very short harbour in some ways because Cork City is about four kilometres up river and the harbour is about nine kilometres the other way so Cork was a booming trade town at the time and it was full of ships coming in with either passengers or trade and where you have a lot of trade you have a lot of people trying to rob that trade so they had pirate ships coming in a lot and the kids get really excited when they hear ‘pirates were coming to Cork’ but they, it was kind of a dangerous time for that kind of traffic to be coming in so they petitioned the crown for a castle, for defensive, for a defensive fort so Blackrock Castle was built on this part because it comes, it can have a little sort of little V that comes out and the harbour that comes along is really deep that’s why you get some really really big ships into the city but incredibly narrow so it was very very dangerous to drive it that’s why nowadays you stop in Cobh and you get a pilot onto your ship to drive it in for you so Blackrock Castle was put here so they could use it as a sort of a lighthouse to stop, to help the ships come in to not crash but also then to dissuade pirate ships coming in so that they might [phrase unintelligible]. So apparently the harbour is like full, full of shipwrecks if you went out scuba diving you’d find loads of things down there and we’ve got shipwrecks from about 1500, 1600 like loads of things though, I’ve no idea what’s down there, I’d be really fascinated to go see.

Title A name given to the resource If the Walls Could Talk: Stories of Cork's Built Heritage (2013) Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource In 2013, the Cork Folklore Project was commissioned by Cork City Council as part of Cork Heritage Open Day to create a film exploring the relationship between some of Cork's most historic buildings and the people who use them. The project carried out a series of interviews with local historians, people associated with the buildings, and Cork residents (the interviews in this collection were carried out by Mark Wilkins), and drew on existing audio and video interviews. Interviews in this collection featured in the DVD discuss the Trinity Presbyterian Church, the National Sculpture Factory, the Custom House/Port of Cork, the Pavilion, the Masonic Hall, Triskel/Christchurch, Cork Vision Centre, South Presentation Convent, Elizabeth Fort, St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, UCC Crawford Observatory and Blackrock Castle Observatory. The overall built heritage project was continued throughout 2013 and 2014 in order to create an interview collection and DVD on the other buildings featured in Cork Heritage Open Day. Interviews about UCC Boole Library and Cork City Opera House, which were not featured in the first DVD, form part of this collection. The DVD was edited by Ian Stephenson, and featured music by Mark Wilkins and photography by Gráinne McGee. The project was co-ordinated by Mary O’Driscoll. The film contributed to Cork City Council’s Cork Heritage Open day, winning the Irish Heritage Council Heritage Week 2013 Award for the Best Interactive Event. A second DVD was produced by the Cork Folklore Project in 2015, drawing on further interviews carried out by Mark Wilkins, entitled If the Stones Could Speak. Support: this project was part-funded by Cork City Council.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com DR Ok, well the current Christchurch building that’s ya know here at the moment it was the third building on this site to the best of our knowledge. Eh it was built in the 1720’s, we think it was 1726 when it was completed and it was a Cork architect by the name of John Coltsman who was responsible for the building. Eh the only other projects we know he was definitely involved in were the current Southgate Bridge and the Old Northgate Bridge. Now we don’t know ya know what other projects he might have been involved in because despite being from Cork we haven’t actually managed to keep much information on him. Eh now even ya know back then sure it would have looked slightly different because the original design involved a tower. Now the tower was originally meant to go up to...I think it was 176 feet, eh but when they got to 130 they realised that it just wasn’t going to work, that it just wasn’t stable, because as everyone knows the word Cork comes from the Irish ‘Corcaigh’ ‘bog or marsh’ and back then a portion of Cork was still very boggy and marshy. So the Christchurch tower started to lean and there was a saying in Cork at that time ‘all to one side like Christchurch tower’ and many of the people living along eh what was then Christchurch lane would have obviously been concerned that the tower was going to collapse and take them with it. So in the 1820’s they got rid of the tower finally. Now the current church was Anglican Church of Ireland up until it was deconsecrated in 1978 and at that time, Cork city council offered to purchase it for 20,000 pounds and they also paid decided they’d throw in another 20,000 as you did for the organ. And it was then used for the as a home for the Cork archives Institute which eventually became the Cork City and County archives who are based up in Blackpool. So they left the building in 2005 and Triskel reached an agreement with Cork City Council to take over management of it and 4.8 million Euro was spent on the restoration. Half of that came from European funding, the rest was from the city council. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com M W Yeah, okay. One very, very, very last one that’s just occurred to me here, the actual position of the observatory on the campus? M H First of all you have to remember that the original campus was a lot smaller than what we now call Main Campus. And in fact Main Campus is a much, what we call Main Campus is only part of a much bigger patchwork now which extends right into you know the city centre in quite a few directions. So in the past, the university gradually starting from the small patch of ground, quite a large patch of ground, strictly speaking in its time, when Queen’s College Cork opened in 1849, a piece of ground and it built the main building on it and subsequently began to build, became the medical building but it gradually began to acquire lands around that perimeter to bring them out to what are the boundaries of Main Quad now; Western Road, Donovan’s Road, Gaol Walk and College Road. And this was one of the sites that they picked up on so there was a piece of flat ground up towards the, up beside the county Gaol and the Quarry, beside us, what was originally a lime kiln and a stone quarry beside it. And William Kirby Sullivan in picking off this land, decided it was a good place for the observatory to go, and you can’t see this piece of land without seeing it literally as a piece of higher ground with no buildings around it, all the streetscape, all the buildings around it, that are university buildings and all the streetscape beyond it, all absent, green fields, do you know flat ground so not only was there no light pollution to interfere with, to interfere with the astronomers, there was no heat pollution ‘cause rising heat causes waves that distort the view. That’s why they want, that’s why astronomers want to put astro-physicists, want to put instruments in space because of all that heat wobble of the visible light and also there were no buildings to interfere with the line of sight of the telescopes. So when they can, you know brought the view through into 360 and right down to the, to the environment, right down to the, right down to the horizon line, it was a low horizon so they had quite a long view, it was a good place. M W Okay. M H But as Queens College Cork grew and became U.C.C, and began erecting buildings on green around, it began to block out the view, and obviously interfere with the use of the telescope. So really you know by the First World War, the telescope was hemmed in. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Michael Holland: William Crawford, Crawford Observatory, Eoin O’Mahony Eoin The Pope O’Mahony, Alfred O’Rahilly, William Kirby Sullivan, UCC, University College Cork Subject The topic of the resource Cork's built Heritage Description An account of the resource Michael talks about the Crawford Observatory building, about the instruments it housed, and about the advancement of scientific knowledge. Michael is the curator of University College Cork. The Crawford Observatory was established on the campus in 1880. The astronomical equipment was supplied by the Dublin firm of Grubb. The university’s president, William Kirby Sullivan built links with the city’s business class, and William Crawford paid for the Grubb telescope. The observatory was used to teach students until 1914.He discusses the role of philanthropy in funding projects. He comments on the creation of electricity by the Cork Tramway Company, and how when the company was shut down in 1929 there was a campaign by Alfred O’Rahilly and Eoin The Pope O’Mahony to get compensation for the tram workers.

Could you tell me just a little bit about the heritage room or if there’s anything about the Heritage Room maybe, Carmel, if you wanted to start? CH Yeah, well this room now was [sound of mic being moved] eh always having artefacts especially about the life of Nano Nagle eh who was a wonderful woman from around Mallow, from Killavullen, who started teaching the poor in Cork in around 1750 and spent thirty years walking the streets also visiting all the people who were sick and poor in their homes and visiting the prisons. But she wanted to educate the poor children, the -- especially the Catholics who had no opportunity of going to school, so she rented little thatched houses. And the first school had thirty pupils, she sent her maid out to gather thirty girls and taught them reading by teaching them the Catechism and then taught them to work. Em gradually the number of schools increased, she had five for girls and two for boys in the city for thirty years and she just walked around and paid her s- teachers herself. She had inherited money from her family but also she had a famous uncle, Joseph Nagle, who was a lawyer, a Catholic lawyer, em who never married, so when he died in 1755 he left her a lot of money. She was thinking at the age of 57 that maybe -- how was the work going to continue if anything happened to her, so she was looking for sisters who would run the schools. So she actually brought the Ursuline Sisters to Cork and they lived in this very building for fifty years. After fifty years they moved out to Blackrock, and this property became the property of the Presentation Sisters. They had added buildings. Nano had built us a three-storey house for them which is the centre of this building. But they had begun having boarders and they had added this whole wing here facing the garden. Em -- okay.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com M M: Okay. I suppose it was a, its kind of interesting thinking back to that point, it was like mid eighties in Cork, and its kind of interesting being in the middle of another deep recession now what’s happening and in Cork in the mid eighties most of the cultural organisations that we now have were actually founded like Corcadorca, ourselves the National Sculpture Factory, Blackwater Studios, you know they were all kind of founded in the late eighties, early nineties so four artists who were graduates of the Crawford College; Maud Cotter, Ailish O’Connell, Vivienne Roche and Danny McCarthy who were very well known sculptors were kind of looking for somewhere to work collectively. They had all been travelling abroad, doing their masters, they knew that the moment was right to have a collective facility ‘cause as we know working as artists is very isolating and they are generally on their own, in their studios so this building was identified, it was empty at the time, Civic Council were using it for storage of, those big hairy Christmas lights that used to be on Patrick Street, used to be in here on the floor. Astroturf, the possessions of people’s houses, who were repossessed, it was a real storage territory and they approached the city manager who was Joe McHugh at the time and Joe was very visionary actually, he decided to take a risk, yeah, and gave it to four artists on a long term lease to set up this organisation. And the Arts Council came in then, in 1989 and supported the organisation financially so really it was set up out of five artists, it was an artist lead initiative to look for kind of a building that would give them collective space to work in so they could begin to acquire collective equipment which they could never afford to have in your own studio and that would enable people to work large scale. So they were very visionary actually these four artists and they stayed involved the first few years, and then obviously the organisation grown quite a lot since then its gotten, you know we’ve adapted this building quite a lot, we’ve put in a new roof. This mezzanine that we are sitting in, is an award winning piece of architecture from Tom de Paor who worked with Robin Lee architect in the new entrance last year, so we are always layering new things onto the building. But I suppose something that we as an organisation are very protective is the fabric of the building actually, nothing that we’ve done has changed the building very much, we’ve enhanced it we would think, we’ve added things in but actually we could, if we were to vacate this building it wouldn’t change that much. You know we’ve put in this big door at the back and some new kind of equipment but our, our imprint is quite light and we respect the building’s capacity in that way. I suppose we are very excited to be in this building because it is a very distinctive building in Cork and its on a great site on a corner. Its also we would say we were one of the first buildings in docklands, in Cork docklands so its gives us a very kind of landmark position in the city. And we are also aware that the citizens in the city only get in occasionally ‘cause it is a work space that’s why nights like heritage night, culture night or when we do events for the film festival, they are important that the public get to come in actually and see what’s going on.

GH Well the Boole Library, the name of the Boole Library came from George Boole, the first professor of Mathematics in University College Cork. And eh this man, it is very fitting that his name was given to the new library in UCC in the eighties because his mathematical formulae have been the basis for modern computers like, for his algebra like has been the basis for a lot of like modern technology today and he’s a worldwide figure of world -- world renown. And he died I think at the age of forty-nine, a very early age, because he had walked from his home in Ballin-- Ballintemple eh into the college during a rainstorm and he developed pneumonia and he didn’t survive it, so he died very young, at a very young age. And then the Boole Library complex it, it, it took over the space that in the seventies had been -- and for the previous hundred years in UCC -- well I don’t know if it was actually active for the full hundred years but the area had been in use as the football pitch for a long, long time, the Quarry, and like in the old days, in the seventies you’d have your lunch in the old Rest and that used be a very -- it was a great place like, it was a great place like you’d see everybody and spotting people and seeing people and all the -- Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At that time, it was built as a lecture hall, a concert hall and an assembly hall and it was built here on Emmet Place.

But there is one thing that I can attest to and so can Lorraine eh who eh started basically I s -- I s-- I was the first personally I recruited the staff then and she was one of the first recruitees that we had and now she’s the administrator of the Centre. But when we were, when we were due to open to the public, we had a very strange eh, eh -- and I can absolutely attest to it myself, I’m a fairly sceptical individual in relation to paranormal and so forth but we came in, in one morning and there was a half-moon of eh Victorian pennies. Em the strange thing about this was that they were inside the locked door, so you have your door, and you have your glass doors and they’re both locked, and we have no idea how they got there and they were all dated you know eh they were all obviously Victorian but they don’t relate to any particular date in the history of the church and we’ve no idea how they got there, none of the-- no idea. So Lorraine would be, would be probably thinking that some ghost dropped them there or whatever but we just were, there was no break-in, no nothing, and they were just there in a in a in a semi-circle or half-moon.
