G G: Tshombe’s army was mainly controlled by mercenaries and the mercenaries came from all over the world, mercenaries from New Zealand, Australia and South America. They were mercenaries proper, mad for a fight, to fight was their lifestyle, you know. We found that they were great, they were white number one. When I went into Luena and took it over, there were Congolese army just on the edge of town and there was a Belgian in charge of it. Jack -- can’t remember his name now, Jack something. But the first night that I was there, I went over into his camp, I rang him up first on the phone, on the army line and I said who I was and that we were here to do a job to stop killing and he said ‘that’s my policy too, in taking this place we killed only a half dozen in the place’. So I went over into his camp, sitting at the table and I said for a start off ‘I have no gun on me, no gun on me, have you?’, ‘I always carry a gun’ he says, you know. I said ‘I wouldn’t like to talk to you with the gun there’, so he took the gun and he said here you have it he says, so that changed that, it went pleasantly then, we had comfort there but if any bit of trouble started I went to him or he went to me. S H: He was a Belgian was he? G G: A Congolese born Belgian, he was a gentleman, only a gentleman. No bother getting on with him, as I said they cleared that area now of the local Congolese tribe and kept the killing down to the minimum anyway. That was the rule.

And of course then like the old home, like, they believe in this month like, the Snap-Apple there, the Samhain, that the Almighty gives permission to the people to come to their house, that are gone. To visit their house that night. And again, like, some of the older women would light a plum candle, that night, and clean it, and have the house nice and clean. And there was no fear. I mean there wouldn’t be fear of anything like it was just done. S.H: Yeah. On the All Saints’ Eve, 31st of October? E. dB: Yeah. The candle would be lit, by them. S. H: What was the common name in Cork for that eve, was it All Saints’ Eve, or Hallowe’en or Snap-Apple Night? E. dB: Snap-Apple Night, sure when we were children it would be Snap-Apple Night, you know? S.H: There seems to have been some confusion. You know how All Souls’ Day is the 2nd of November, the feast following All Saints’. But in earlier times people sometimes referred to Hallowe’en as All Souls’ Night, is that right? E. dB: Well that only came with Christianity. The Church like were kind of crabbid like that, and you see, pre-Christian it was a big, big, big ceremony, with you know different things all the, you must remember, the apples are in, the harvest is in, the men are coming in, they won’t have to watch the shores for the Vikings with the storms and things, and you see like it was a big huge thing. But like the Church, they didn’t take it from us, the little magic. But they had to put “All Saints’ ” and they had to put “All Souls’ ” in it to diminish it a bit because you know, what we believed is, you know is, to hold us, to bring us into a different belief. So that would have been that. S. H: Yes. Did you ever hear it referred to as “All Souls’ Eve,” as well? E. dB: I did. Oh yes, “All Souls’, ” oh yeah? S. H: And people would know that you were meaning the 31st. of October, rather than the 1st of November? E. dB: Oh, they would, sure that’s the night, long ago then, we’d have to try and be home before 12 o’clock, we’d be frightened, you know now. You wouldn’t be out that night late. You see, on the streets. S. H: And did you hear of people making visits to graveyards around that time, pray for deceased relatives? E. dB: Oh, I did of course. There is an indulgence now, they say like, you know. I’ve been out now in Douglas there in the graveyard last week, I was doing a bit of work, and I be going around to Saint Finbarr's now, doing a little bit of work this week, please God, and I’ll call into Saint Finbarr's, we’re supposed, you know, to remember him and pray for him and they say like, you know, that time you could get out very easy, out of you know, if you were down, paying for your little wrongs, you could, you know, get a small bit... S. H: Yeah, a discount. E. dB: Yeah, it was a grand bit, yeah, that’s the idea, sure that’s what’s lovely. Indulgence. No fear or nothing, but, a thinking of those that are gone.

Copyright of the Cork Folklore Project. If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com S H: Incredible. You obviously have a great love of Blackpool and adjacent areas. D L: I have, yes. S H: You would regard the Bride Valley, this whole valley here as a special place? D L: Oh, a very special place. I really think that over a hundred years, hundred and fifty years ago, I really think it was isolated from the City of Cork. That it was a place unto its own. A place that people would refer to; “Blackpool ". And not even mention Cork. S H: So where do you think the “dark pool” part actually came from? D L: Well, Blackpool was a very boggy area and there was three different rivers coming into Blackpool. And it was really a very boggy area and it took them a long time to get the rivers to run into one course. I'm just looking for a little bit here now. Anyway, they got 'em to run into one river and that carries on into the Northern part of the city and down into the River Lee. But um....what did you say then? S H: Oh, I just said.... well, has the physical appearance of the area changed much over last sixty years or so? D L: It has. Blackpool was made up of a lot of lanes. Small lanes. And the people that lived down there, most of them were related to one another. S H: And then those big anonymous blocks of flats were put up, it changed, I suppose. D L: They did. This is... I describe Blackpool as “A comfortable and long-established district, nestling between the hills of Farranree and the heights of Farrancleary ". And I said: " From such a hard and humble beginning, there are now many fine buildings and splendid streets, from Hatton's Alley, where was situated the original 'Blackpool' ". There was some leather-works or something there and the water took on a dark colour, and of course, that was “Blackpool", “Linn Dubh” in Irish. "The streets and lanes have spread out, northwards there is Great William O'Brien Street, Brocklesby Street, where our beloved school is situated, Commons Road, Thomas Davis Street, named after the great Irishman who said ' Educate, so that you may be free ', Dublin Street and Dublin Hill, Mallow Road and Millfield Village. Then towards the city, there is Watercourse Road, O'Connell Street, called after the great Statesman who won emancipation for the Catholic Irish; then, to manifest the genuine core of its honest Irishness, let the long list of the lanes of Blackpool be written. Spring Lane, Walshe's Lane, Green Lane, Foster's Lane, Slattery's Lane, Wherland's Lane, Broad Lane, Narrow Lane, Sunday School Lane, Quarry Lane, Peacock Lane, Keller's Lane ". That was Blackpool, compact, close, you see. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Long: Working Life; Balckpool; Austrailia Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource Denis grew up in Blackpool. His father was a train driver. He worked for the ESB (Electricity Supply Board) but wanted to earn better money and went to Australia in the 1950s. He tells a funny story about visiting a rocket range and meeting someone who recognised him from Cork. He describes Blackpool as having been made up of numerous lanes and observes that its name derived from it being a boggy place full of streams. He comments that the River Lee is said to claim at least one life by drowning a year. There were two holy wells at Sunday’s Well; another called Lady’s Well at Leitrim Street. He talks briefly about Poulraddy Harbour, Micah’s Harbour, and Corkeran’s Quay. The latter two places had grand names but were insignificant. He sings a verse of a song about the latter called “The Cruise of the Mary Jane” and a song that a teacher made Denis remembers that there was an incident with a harbour ferry in the 1940s which lost its steering and caused great panic. He recalls the sports played in Cork, including bird-catching. Denis wrote a book called The Spirit of the Glen, about Glen Rovers GAA club. There was a flood in Blackpool in 1935, and he recounts a funny story about a boy floating by on a sofa. He remembers that a local man developed a way to generate his own electricity using water power. He was a teacher; under the system then, school monitors could become teachers without passing a teaching exam.

Am, being from Madden’s Buildings of course The Glen Rovers was a madness for any budding hurler so we would have played street leagues, we would have played on Glen Rovers under-8’s, under-10’s right up along, so yes hurling was a very, very big part of our lives and even on the street. I do remember being fined two shillings and sixpence at the tender age of eight for playing hurling on Great William O’Brien Street. SH: What a guard came along and he fined you on the spot? BH: Not on the spot no, we had to go to court -- I can remember my father having to take the day off work. SH: Was it embarrassing? BH: Well I was-- I suppose I was, I was terrified. Am, my father was certainly embarrassed along with many of the other. I think there were eight or nine of us before court getting a record at seven years of age but I suppose when you look back at it now, I suppose they could say you know that you’d be proud of what, what you had done, that you were playing your national game and were fined for it you know?

I think -- and teachers too I think that when we were -- even though it wasn’t too long ago, twenty years ago when we were growing up, they had this-- they had this-- there was no dividing their feelings. They either liked you or they didn’t. There was no in-between. And I don’t think that they gave people or children that time, the understanding and benefit of the doubt like they do today. I really don’t think they made the effort and maybe they didn’t like the look of you or-- if you were-- like there were other people less more fortunate than I was. Kind of grubby or untidy, or if they came from a very rundown background very poor. I think they were actually bullied more than the rest. That always stuck, I remember one girl in my class and they had nothing, absolutely nothing. Now at the time with me, nothing to you anyway but as you grew up you often start to think, I mean, think that, that she, how she ever went there I’ll never know. Putting the dunce’s hat on her head, in the middle of the classroom and making her kneel down. I can remember the nun doing that to her.

Copyright of the Cork Folklore Project. If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com V.C: Tell me a little bit about the street games of the forties and fifties, B.McC: Our favourite street game was hurling, we used to play in East View Terrace, off Quaker Road where we lived. There would be little or no traffic on East View Terrace. There was just a row of houses, just sixteen houses on one side, on the left, and on the right you had the wall of Quaker graveyard, a blank wall. East View Terrace was the place to play ball to our mind! But some of the residents didn’t like it. We often held a full-scale hurling match there, on a Sunday afternoon. I remember one particular incident, one of the lads who used to play there with us, one age with myself, he and I and another chap, Michael Maverly (God Rest him) who was a few years older than us, and we were playing ball, at lunchtime in East View Terrace, and old guard Halloran coming on his bike, from Barrack Street Station to his home in Ballinlough at lunchtime just swung casually into the terrace and caught us playing ball. So he took our names and one of the lads who was with us there, his grandmother lived as he did, in East View Terrace, his grandmother came down and spoke to the guard and said “this lad wasn’t with them at all, this is Pat, my grandson, catching him by the hand and attempting to take him away. So Guard O’Halloran in his wisdom said, “ One moment Mam, that lad was playing with them when I came along. And incidentally, he said, “aren’t you the woman who came into the station to report these lads. The three of us were fined for playing ball there, three and sixpence (three shillings and sixpence) V.C: An innocent offence, B.McC: Three shillings and sixpence each, for playing ball, V.C: That was a lot of money then, B.McC: And very coincidentally when Guard O’Halloran called after the court hearing to collect the fine, it turned out that he went to school with my mother. V.C: He still took the three and sixpence though! Haha! B.McC: He still took the fine.

Title A name given to the resource Billy McCarthy: Quaker Road, Public Baths, Childhood Description An account of the resource Billy was born in 1941. His mother, Mary Ann Cronin, was from Mayfield; her father, William Cronin served with the British army during the First World War, and later became a postman. His father’s family came from Dunmanway, West Cork. His father, Patrick McCarthy, served with the IRA between 1919 and 1921, and later came to Cork to work as a conductor on the trams. He was reared on Irish nationalist history and recites a poem he wrote in his twenties, The Glorious Hour, about Michael Collins and Tom Barry. Billy grew up at Quaker Road. The house had a large garden, and his father raised pigs; on the way to Murphy's Bacon Factory on Evergreen St, they were taken through the house itself. He comments on watching the pigs being slaughtered in the factory. Billy remembers Scannell and Finnegan’s shop, which sold oils, and scrap pictures for scrapbooks. Teenage treats could be got at Kiely’s Chip Shop Maylor St, which he believes was one of the first in the city, and at Harrington’s milk and cake shop. He tells a story about playing street hurling and being caught and fined by the police. Swimming could be done at the indoor Eglantine Street Baths and outdoor Lee baths at the Straight Road. In Summer these were always overcrowded, and he learnt to swim in the River Lee instead. Billy talks briefly about fishing for tadpoles, roach and trout. As a kind of initiation, young boys would lie beside the railway tracks as a train passed.
