I remember up here on Broad Lane, we’ll always have Bonfire night and we’ll have our cakes and we’ll have Chester cake and we’ll have razza. A small drop of razza with loads of water inside in it, but of course we’ll be carrying trees and sticks and tyres for weeks and weeks and weeks, and no one could touch the place. Nobody would even dream of lighting the fire until bonfire night. But then again our parents were there and they were observing the whole situation as regards bonfire night.</p> <p> </p> <p>SH:      Was this out in Ballincollig?</p> <p> </p> <p>MM:    This was here.</p> <p> </p> <p>SH:      Can you remember anything about that in Ballincollig?</p> <p> </p> <p>MM:    No. No, I wouldn’t remember that much of it now, it was - - there was a bit of it in Ballincollig alright but I suppose there was a lot more of it than I would’ve realised.</p> <p>SH:      Around here, where did they have the fires?</p> <p> </p> <p>MM:    Up in Broad Lane. We used have it in Broad Lane at the time, but of course, there was different gangs. We had the Broad Lane gang and we had the Hattons Alley gang</p> <p> </p> <p>SH:      I’ve heard about them.</p> <p> </p> <p>MM:    Yeah, so we had some great times, you know. Actually, the very funny thing about the Broad Lane gang Steven, and the Hattons Alley gang was this; we’d walk all the ways out to the Gouldings Glen, which is now built up as a corporation estate, and there could be about eighteen of us walk out, nine aside, you know? Or you might have ten and nine or maybe - - there might be an odd one you know, on one side, one too many. And we’d go out there and we’d fight away, and then we’d come back again because we couldn’t have a fight in our own area because our parents would come out and give us a hiding, you know. We’d go out and we’d have a good fight and we’d walk back the road again together, which was great, you know, it was all over. That’s it.</p> <p> </p> <p>SH:      Liam Foley, he told me - - he came from up that way - -</p> <p> </p> <p>MM:    That’s right Liam was from Broad Lane.</p> <p> </p> <p>SH:      Slightly older generation - - back then, the Broad Lane and the Hatton’s Alley, and he was involved in that himself as a teenager. Or not even as such a teenager, I think around eleven, twelve, that sort of age.</p> <p> </p> <p>MM:    Oh, we went a bit older than that. We did yeah, oh we did, we went out to Goulding’s Glen and I tell you something - - I remember then we had the Lido cinema here at the back, you know and we used to have Batman and Robin. I remember a guy called John Hennessy, and he dressed up as Batman, and he made me dress up as Robin. And where the parish priest houses are over, didn’t he jump out the window. It was an old derelict building. Jeez, there was a poor woman going down the road, she nearly lost her life over it. Course we got hauled in over it.</p> <p> </p> <p>SH:      Who was going down the road?</p> <p> </p> <p>MM:  One of the old ladies around the corner. Around the street, and he shouting ‘here comes Batman’, you know. I tell you something, we got Batman and Robin for about two weeks, we weren’t left outside the door. We went up to school and that was it, end of story. But they were great days.</p> 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 Mick Moriarty: Barbershops, Fashion, Childhood Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource Mick has spent his life in the hairdressing trade. He talks about changes in the trade and recounts some stories from his working life. Mick is known as ‘The Baldy Barber’. He was born in Ballincollig in 1948. His father was a hairdresser and had opened his first shop in 1937. He comments on the population explosion in Ballincollig between the time he left and the present day. As a child, he swam in a pool called Hell Hole, and played marbles (known as Glassy Alleys). There were also two gangs who fought each other, the Broad Lane Gang and the Hatton’s Alley Gang. He talks about the emergence of long hairstyles in the 1960s and says that a number of barbershops in Waterford closed down as a result. He describes the cost of a haircut and of running his business over the years. He used to work early in the morning to serve night workers coming off their shifts. He tells some funny stories about awkward or amusing situations with customers.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. <br /><br />In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. <br />A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/).<br /><br />The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. <br />The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017.<br /><br />Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme. <br /><br /><strong>For further description and discussion of the Cork Memory Map project, see:</strong> <br />O’Carroll, Clíona (2011) ‘The Cork Memory Map’, Béascna 7: 184-188. <br /><br />O’Carroll, Clíona (2012) ‘Cork Memory Map: an update on CFP’s Online Project’, The Archive 16: 14. https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/research/corkfolkloreproject/archivepdfs/archive16.PDF <br /><br />Dee, Stephen and O’Carroll, Clíona (2012) ‘Sound Excerpts: Interviews from Heritage Week’, The Archive 16: 15-17. https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/research/corkfolkloreproject/archivepdfs/archive16.PDF <br /><br />Clíona O'Carroll (2014) 'The children's perspectives: Place-centred interviewing and multiple diversified livelihood strategies in Cork city, 1935-1960'.

Title A name given to the resource Michael O’Connell: Faranree, Politics, Childhood, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Michael was born in the 1950s and grew up in Farranferris Ave below the Church of the Redemption in Farranree. He came from a family of 13 children. He was a student at the North Mon. His mother was a great GAA fan and a sporting person who played camogie. She was an extraordinary woman who managed to raise her children with very little money. His father was a quiet, intelligent man who worked on the building line and on the docks and was interested in politics. He met his wife Catherine and they married in 1972. He worked at Blarney Woollen Mills and then B&I on the Inisfallen for 17 years and became interested in local politics in 1973. He was Deputy Lord Mayor in 1976 and Lord Mayor of Cork from 2010 to 2011. Michael remembers his community as a fantastic place to live with an amazing sense of community. He recalls the opening of The Church of the Redemption in 1958 as a huge event with Cardinal Cushing and Bishop Lucey. He speaks about the completion of Farranree, Gurranabraher, Churchfield and Mayfield estates in the 1950s. He fondly remembers a well known local character Andy Gaw who used to collect money to give to the local children. He mentions the games they played such as slogging apples, catching birds like redpoles and finches and hiking in Rosses Wood. He talks humorously about the first live television they saw through a neighbour’s window. His visits to Maddens and Cissy O'Connell's shop on Bridge Street, and going to the pawn shop on Shandon Street and Gillabbey Street for the Sunday suit. Michael talks about how difficult it was to feed a family of thirteen and the food they ate to survive. The use of allotments to grow vegetables. He tells a story about getting plaster of Paris removed at the North Infirmary. Going to the cinema in the Lido. ‘Jagging’ and going for walks with girls. How Cork has changed economically and its impact on industry and young people. He welcomed Queen Elizabeth II to Cork in May 2010 and talks at length about the logistics of the visit.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. <br /><br />In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. <br />A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/).<br /><br />The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. <br />The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017.<br /><br />Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme. <br /><br /><strong>For further description and discussion of the Cork Memory Map project, see:</strong> <br />O’Carroll, Clíona (2011) ‘The Cork Memory Map’, Béascna 7: 184-188. <br /><br />O’Carroll, Clíona (2012) ‘Cork Memory Map: an update on CFP’s Online Project’, The Archive 16: 14. https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/research/corkfolkloreproject/archivepdfs/archive16.PDF <br /><br />Dee, Stephen and O’Carroll, Clíona (2012) ‘Sound Excerpts: Interviews from Heritage Week’, The Archive 16: 15-17. https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/research/corkfolkloreproject/archivepdfs/archive16.PDF <br /><br />Clíona O'Carroll (2014) 'The children's perspectives: Place-centred interviewing and multiple diversified livelihood strategies in Cork city, 1935-1960'.

I’m from Togher. My mother, my father and myself left Cork in 1960. I was only three. To go to London. Big adventure. I have strong memories of sailing on the old black and white Inishfallen from the quays below because it seemed a very very sad thing. Not like today, travelling. As the ship was leaving all the people would start singing, and the song still haunts me. They sing the song ‘now is the hour when we must say goodbye’. So, you could have a couple of hundred people because a lot of people getting on that boat weren’t going away for a weekend. They might never come back. And there used to be people wailing and crying on the ship. And my mother and me father, me mother especially, would be crying a lot. But the ship would go slowly down, and you could drive down Low Road in both directions, and there’d be cars following it down all the way. And then you had a long sea journey to Fishguard. You’d leave. I’d memories of leaving Cork about six o’clock in the evening, arriving in Fishguard in the middle of the night. A long wait then in the cold, and the smell of fish in Fishguard and someone told me it’s dead mullet. I know now, and also Bovril. If you mention to a lot of people Bovril, it seemed it was all you could get there. And I still to this day can’t. If I smell Bovril I can’t take it. Then you’d have a five or six hour journey by train from Fishguard to Paddington. And the other way round then, we’d come home every summer. My Grandmother lived in Glenabbey Street, and she hadn’t electric light. This was in the sixties. She actually hadn’t electricity, and I can still remember the gas lamps, the lamps would be lit. She’d cook on the fire. And I can still remember the food, and at night they’d just sit there talking for hours. I’d have been seven, eight, nine or ten. But I used to love it. With my grandfather and my grandmother. The house is still in Glenabbey Street. Now it’s rented accommodation. There’s students in there. But that black Inisfallen. I bought a photograph of it from The Examiner. It was a memory I’ll never forget that song and the smell of Bovril.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">C OC That’s so vivid. Do you remember how the song went.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">M OC No. You can get it on the internet if you Google it. Now is the hour when we must say goodbye. Soon you will be sailing far across the sea. If you google it you’ll get the words. I don’t know. It’s an American/Irish singer but if you play that song I guarantee to anyone in their fifties and older, they’ll think of that. But then I can also remember we’d come home in the summer, the long train journey from Paddington to Fishguard, then you’d get on the ship but in the morning she’d pass Roche’s Point about seven o’clock in the morning, and I can remember coming up the river. I can remember passing the marina, in the morning, and people waving at the boat. That was a happy time. My mother would be up doing her make up, I can remember and all that. And the boat would come up to where the river splits there by, I don’t know the name of the quay there</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">C OC The Port of Cork.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">M OC The Cork building. Just before that the boat would actually do a turn to be facing out to sea again. If I remember rightly we used to arrive on a Sunday morning but then she’d sail Sunday evening again. But it was a long slow journey. The boat stank as far as I was concerned. It was a floating pub. But they used to keep cattle underneath as well. And I’d be sick the day before we travelled with worry, and I’d be sick the day after we arrived having travelled. But the memories of that ship and that song. Get the song from Google, ‘Now is the hour when we have to say goodbye’. But it was like a coffin ship going off. And also arriving. When you arrived the Customs would go through your case. And a big lump of chalk would be plastered on the case, that was to get you through the security. If the chalk was on your case you were OK. So that’s me.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">C OC Wow. Jeepers. Thanks for that. That’s really vivid.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">M OC It was a long way away at that stage. We used to ring home, now me mother used to write letters to my grandfather. And he’d write back and the letters would come religiously every week from him. Maybe once a fortnight from my mother. Not as quick. Things got a bit better then, we’d ring from a phone box to a phone box on the North side to my aunt, via operators. We’d be shoving in two bob bits and all the rest of it. I can remember he’d ring on a Friday night. There could be a queue at the phone box, or there could be a queue at the phone box in Farranree. So they’d be waiting at both ends. You’d ring and someone else would pick up the phone. London was a long way away then.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">C OC Can you remember the first time that you came back for the summer and your impressions of Cork then after having been in London?</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">M OC Yeah. I didn’t want to go back to London. Cause we were playing with relations in the North side and relations in Ballyphehane. In London it was a rather built up area where we lived. So we came back here. And I’d be gone in the morning and dragged in late at night, having been out playing football, kick the can, which I’d never heard of, and all those things. So I used to be depressed going back to London. It was just outdoor, always sunny. Red lemonade, I’d never seen. White vinegar I’d never seen. And Taytos. Rasa was a phrase. My Grandad used to take me to the pub. I didn’t realise he was getting it for nothing. You know, it was for half nothing that I’d be drinking Rasa. Also getting I’d be hanging my parents now [inaudible phrase], getting the bus to Crosshaven. We’d go to Crosshaven with my cousins. They’d go into the pub and myself and my cousins clung to the wall outside the pub, in the corner of Crosshaven for hours. We set our DNAs on that wall definitely. And then we’d come home in the evening and for years we used to talk about Crosshaven. And I’d say ‘sure there’s nothing there’. I didn’t think there was anything in Crosshaven. I just thought it was a square. Honestly. So in later years I brought my own children down there. I found Graball Bay [sounds like], and all those. But the bus to Crosshaven for the pub. Everyone did it. Stayed in the pub all day, and then got the bus back. That was the adventure. Also when I used to come I was the rich person from England. Choc Ices. My cousins still joke about Mick coming home with the Choc Ices. We’d go to the shop and I’d have money for Choc Ices, which they wouldn’t have got. We had some money but the lads here didn’t have as much. And two other things, I’ll bore you to tears. My aunts had televisions with slot machines in them. You’d put money in and that’s how they paid the rental on the television. The television shops in town. They couldn’t afford the rent on the telly. So there was a slot machine on the telly same as a ESB machine. So you’d be watching it, and the next thing the money would go and the telly would go. So someone would run looking for a shilling or two bob to put into it. You’d get an hour or two hours out of it. And the last one was they used to put blue plastic over the television trying to pretend it was colour. Honestly.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">C OC Brilliant!</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">M OC I thought it was a wind up. But they did. But the slot machines for the television, I remember that now, just come back to me there. You might get an hour for a shilling or something. But in the middle of something it would go. I thought it was prehistoric. I’d colour telly in London at this stage. I thought it was totally prehistoric. And always one channel or two channels. But I loved it back here. I didn’t want to go home. We came home for good in ’74. Thank God. I was seventeen.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">C OC What was that like now, arriving back from London at seventeen?</p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left:1.5cm;text-indent:-1.5cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">M OC That was a little bit of a shocker because I’d settled down in London. I’d lots of friends there, but I settled down very quickly. And I took my father, [pause], we’d a big birthday recently. My daughter was twenty. I was fifty and my dad was eighty and I took him back to London for the first time since ’74. And we stayed near where we lived. Where we lived now is in the Kensington area. At the time it was a little bit run down, now it’s all millionaires there. It was just amazing to see it. But I had it for a few days. And I took my children there a few years before that to see where I went to school. School in London. It was nice to see it. It was nice to come home. London is grand for a week. But, everywhere we went in London was Irish, Irish, Irish. We’d often have Cork people staying in our house for a night or two, that had come over. And the Irish clubs, the Irish pubs full of Cork people. Everywhere. They were everywhere.

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 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. He tells a story about the installation of a seismograph, which had to be moved after it was found that bus traffic nearby was giving false readings. He explains how the site for the observatory was originally chosen. This interview was conducted for the DVD If the Walls Could Talk.

Title A name given to the resource Cork 2005 Project Subject The topic of the resource Interviewing and radio project exploring migration, cultural contact and the social and physical landscape of Cork City in 2004 and 2005 and in the past, comprising of forty audio interviews and resulting in six half-hour radio programmes and a book. Description An account of the resource The Cork 2005 Project was carried out and funded as part of Cork’s tenure as European Capital of Culture in 2005. Building on the theme ‘City of Culture’, the project explored the questions: ‘What is the everyday culture of Cork City?’ and ‘Who are the people of the city?’, and aimed to broaden our archival holdings to reflect the increased numbers of migrants making their home in the city. 37 ethnographic interviews were carried out with Cork residents, more than two-thirds of whom had come to Cork from elsewhere, exploring their relationship with the cultural and social landscape of the city. The interviews include accounts of family life and growing up in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, England, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, Kurdistan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa Ukraine, and the United States. A six-part radio series, entitled ‘How’s it goin’, boy?’ was broadcast on Cork Campus Radio in 2005, and a book of the same name was published in 2006. You can listen to the radio programmes on our website: How's it goin', boy? Radio Series. The interviews in this collection all have a similar structure. We asked all interviewees to describe their childhood neighbourhoods and communities and to discuss their relationship with Cork city in the present day. We also discussed experiences of migrancy, first impressions and cultural contact with those who had come to Cork from elsewhere and with Corkonians who had experience of migration. Interviewees came from diverse areas including Australia, the Marsh, Nigeria, Brittany, Gurranabraher, Russia, Evergreen Street, Spain, Poland and Kurdish Iraq. The collection project was carried out from March 2004 – June 2005. Interviewers on the project: Jennifer Butler; Lee Cassidy; Sean Claffey; Diane Hoppe; Dolores Horgan; John Mehegan; Clíona O’Carroll; Mary O’Driscoll; Noel O’Shaughnessy: Frances Quirke.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com F.Q: Yeah, em what changes now Michael would you have we’ll say seen in Cork down through the years? M.O.F: Well down through the years, like from the time, you know I mean Patrick’s Street is Patrick Street, I suppose that is probably the focal point of Cork, but I mean Cork is spread out now, I mean all of, I suppose from a ten mile radius of Cork city now is nearly an extension of Cork city, I mean the likes of em Ballincollig, Carrigaline, we spent all our childhood in Crosshaven, Crosshaven is no longer the little village now, it was always a Summer place for us – we used to go down there in June until the end of August – but I mean it is I’d say 99% of the people now in Crosshaven are living in Crosshaven. And when you have Carrigaline, I mean my God, Carrigaline is a town in itself, you know, and eh I mean I suppose that’s probably the biggest change: the way the city has expanded, you know, I mean no matter what way you go now there’s Mallow sorry . . . F.Q: Michael what would you like to see change about Cork? M.O.F: I suppose from my own point of view I suppose if we actually could get the traffic right, and eh if we could, I would like to see a complete walking area in the centre of the city: all cars free zones away from the thing; it would be fantastic for the city, but what they’re going to do about it I don’t know. Even the tunnel they’re taking the amount of cars that’s passing them by day they didn’t expect until 2007, 2008, and they said that by 2007, 2008, I’m going to have another twenty five per cent increase, so I think that everybody’s going to have to go back to nature, and the bikes and walking, get rid of the cars. To me that would be great, like if I could actually see a carbon free air, and the pollution improved in Cork city, and people would take care of the way they burn things, and that would make my job much easier.

Title A name given to the resource Michael O’Flynn: Fire Brigade; Vandalism; Change; Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Cork; Fire Brigade; Description An account of the resource Michael has worked most of his life with Cork fire brigade, a job he loves, and he describes the nature of his job, the training required, and its dangers and rewards. Michael grew up in Turner’s Cross. He works as a fireman. In the 1960s there were lots of chimney fires in tenement houses because the occupants burned whatever they could find.

These streets link the island of the city centre with the North and South Sides of the city. They form a shopping and business area, which has also served a residential purpose down through the years. Although our broader collection contains much description of and stories from the area, these interviews (carried out between January and March 2015 and totalling 4 hours 28 minutes in duration) focus specifically on the streets, their past and their future. Interviewees include residents of the streets and their environs and those who work and have worked there, and the interviews encompass memories of the area from the 1940s onwards, descriptions of change in the area, and reflection on the area’s future. Interviews were carried out with local residents, one of whom is a local historian, representatives of three multi-generational family businesses (Leader’s clothing, the North Gate Pharmacy and Bradley’s Off-licence), a South Main Street resident and city planner, a cityscape historian, and a promoter who was particularly active in organising events in the nightclub Sir Henry’s in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Maybe one of my earliest memories myself was there was a fire here one time, it was actually on a bonfire night and they used to light bonfires down the side lanes here and there was I suppose maybe I was I dunno five at the time, if I was about that it was about forty years ago and bizarrely we had firelighters stored inside the door at that time, I’m not sure the insurance company ever believed that was a total coincidence but em, my memory of the time was because we had to sell off a lot of the stock and I just remember as a child been very excited about that and dealing with the flour because it was kind of fire damaged and all the ladies coming in to get the cheap flour because they could do their baking because it was been sold off so cheap and I just remember that. But then I suppose on and off during the years just by the nature of it and been a small family we would have come in and out of it. I suppose I came in myself full time in my early twenties so that’s over twenty years ago, now I was actually working in the bank for a little while but I suppose it was always kind of nearly my destiny not that it had ever been forced upon us really in fairness but it always seemed pre-destined. I was the youngest, my sister had gone on to law, my brother was an architect and it, I suppose it was me or nobody. AB: Yeah I was going to ask you that! MC: I didn’t feel an undue pressure but it just evolved into that and I suppose knowing my brother and sister, which you don’t, I was the most suited to it as well in terms of, well I like the interaction of the day to day dealing with people and all that sort of thing so it suited me in that sense you know and em, I suppose then we had to start moving in a different direction because of the, how things changed in terms of retail and how people shop and all that.

Title A name given to the resource Michael Creedon: Bradley's Subject The topic of the resource North Main Street, Cork Description An account of the resource Michael Creedon relates some of the history pertaining to Bradley's, a 4th generation shop established in 1850 on North Main Street. He discusses the changes that have taken place during that time in the area and the importance of supporting local businesses to keep the character of Cork City local. Bradley’s off-licence and footsore, on North Main Street, was established in 1850 and is currently in the 4th generation of family ownership. Michael Creedon, current owner of Bradley's, discusses the history of the shop within the family dating back to his grandfather (the third generation back from him) and the changing character of the street as well as Cork City over time. He states that the shop started out pasteurizing and selling milk and would have had two other locations on Shear Street and Douglas Street. His grandfather (Michael) and his great-uncle (Frank) worked together in the business before it passed to his uncle who first introduced the notion of the business as a food shop as well. From there Michael discusses his own memories as a child and the close relationship his family had with the shop, including enquiring after the shop at Christmas almost as one would a person. He relates a memory, at the approximate age of five, wherein they kept fire lighters within the door of their shop on bonfire night. He states there would have been no pressure from the family to take on the direction of the shop but that, among his siblings, he was the most suited for it. Finally, the conversation moves on to his own perception of North Main Street and Cork City over time. Michael expresses his regrets that the localised nature of the city is diminishing in favour of large shopping centres, citing the construction of the pedestrian bridge from Popes Quay to Cornmarket Street as well as free parking in other locations in the city as drawing away foot traffic from local businesses. He states that because he is a small business, he makes an effort to support other small businesses in the products that he offers for sale and emphasises that people who care for Cork should support Cork and appreciate the historic quarter.

The exhibition foregrounded the human voice through audio installations (Made by Dr Jeffery Weeter), links to interviews, and interaction with physical objects. It invited visitors to join interviewees in the experience of manually ventilating a child with polio throughout the night in 1956 and to move along a waiting-room bench when facing vaccination by the dreaded ‘Branding Iron’ or to imagine the loss of a childhood classmate from measles.

Michael is 87 years old and Theresa is 85 years old. In this interview they both talk about their experiences of TB in Cork during the 1940s and the 1950s. In particular Michael talks about 3 siblings that contracted TB and spent time in sanatoriums. His brother spent 4 years at Heatherside Sanatorium in north Cork before being transferred to St. Finbarr’s hospital for a further 3 years. Two of Michael’s sisters spent between 2-4 years at Sarsfield Court sanatorium. Michael talks about visiting his sisters but not his brother because of distance and lack of transport. To this end he did not see his brother for 7 years. Michael talks about the emotions experienced when his brother came home. Michael talks about visiting his sister at Sarsfield sanatorium on his wedding day with his wife and talks about the car breaking down en route. Michael also talks about learning that he had TB when a chest x-ray in circa 2018 revealed scarring on his lungs reminiscent of TB. Theresa talks about her cousin Elsie who spent time in Mount Desert Sanatorium. Theresa talks about how Elsie would help to lay out the dead in the mortuary. Theresa also talks about the many young girls that died of TB at the sanatorium. During the interview the girls are referred to as country girls which Theresa explains was a term used to describe the daughters of farmers. Theresa talks about the girls catching TB from cattle on the farm. Theresa also talks about a friend called John who spent time at Sarsfields Court sanatorium with TB. When John was released home he was never able to work again due to a weak chest as a result of recurring chest infections. Michael and Theresa discuss family, community and societal attitudes towards TB. They talk about what people were told about TB and how they believed TB was transmitted. They talk about visiting the sanatoriums and the lack of social restrictions that they observed there. They talk about how fresh air was considered a treatment for TB and how the patients spent a lot of time outdoors.

Title A name given to the resource HSE Orthopaedic Hospital Oral History Project (d'Orthopaedic) Subject The topic of the resource Ireland; Cork; Gurranabraher; Healthcare; Occupational Lore: Description An account of the resource This collection project was a collaboration between the CFP and the Cork North Community Work Department, Cork Kerry Community Healthcare, Health Services Executive, on the occasion of the development of St. Mary’s Orthopaedic Hospital, Gurranabraher, as a Primary Care Centre. This hospital was know throughout Cork City as 'd'Orthopaedic'. The Memories of the Orthopaedic project focused on a cohort of nine interviewees who were associated with ‘the Orthopaedic’ as former staff (including medical and housekeeping), patients and locals who grew up near the hospital in Gurranabraher. The interviews, all but one of which were carried out by Joanne McNamara of the Health Services Executive, took place between April and September 2017. The project resulted in the publication of The Ministry of Healing, St Mary’s Orthopaedic Hospital Cork: An Oral and Historical Record (by Tomás MacConmara for the CFP), and elements from the interviews were incorporated into an open-air display linked to a Slí na Sláinte (Path to Health) walking route on the new campus. The project was celebrated and the book launched on 12 April 2018 at the CFP Outreach Hub. The CFP and the HSE subsequently entered into a two-year partnership, the 'Oral History for Health' project that carries out oral history in health care contexts (2019-2020), the first strand of which is the HSE Grattan Street Stories project.

That’s the kind of place it was like, it was amazing. But my very first lesson, was antique drawing, and the college then, see the school, as it existed then, was really a 19th Century structure in all its aspects practically, in terms of the structure of teaching, well that’s not, that’s not fair on my extraordinary tutors actually, but the kind of educational structure that was there, was kind of 19th Century.

Title A name given to the resource Maud Cotter: Crawford Art Gallery, Crawford School of Art Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource Maud explains how she came to study at Crawford School of Art in 1972. She praises her tutors but notes that many of them were fired when a new teaching regime was brought in to support a new Diploma qualification. She says the college had an air of freedom and informality, where the boundaries between art school and gallery, and between professional artists and students were blurred. She talks about rooms in the gallery that attracted her and returns to the topic of her teachers.

Her birth in West Cork and her family. On how the threshing of corn in particular was a big social occasion. Mary spent her early years in Kilmichael before moving to Cork city with her sisters, who owned a number of pubs. </strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Mary was born in Kilmichael on the 18^th of March 1922. Her family were farmers. There were eight children. Five girls and three boys. Mary was the third girl. Her mother’s maiden name was Mary Hurley and she was from the same area. Her fathers name was Patrick Murphy. She describes her childhood as very happy. They lived at a crossroads and kept a very open house. Every night people came to play cards. Mary’s mother played the concertina. There was no electricity in the house and no running water, only a well down the road. Despite this, Mary says they were very happy for a long time. The first bad thing Mary remembers is the Economic War. They couldn’t sell their cattle and money became scarce. Mary always had an interest in the farm and worked on it until she got married. They had a lot of land, a hundred and something acres. A lot of it was rough land.</p> <p> </p> <p>The threshing of corn every year was a big event. Usually there would be dancing and singing in the house afterwards. In the summer the men would cut turf from the bogs. Mary remembers bringing tea and sandwiches to them. Two of the turf cutter’s dogs started fighting and their owners nearly came to blows over the dogs.</p> <p> </p> <p>Two of her older sisters worked in a local shop. Another sister worked in Bandon with an aunt who owned a shop and a pub. Later they all came to live in the city and opened pubs themselves. The Gables in Douglas was one of the pubs. The Phoenix was another one. A third sister had a pub on the quays called the Green Bow. That was sold and her sister bought a shop on the Western Road, opposite Jury’s Hotel. Mary worked in the Gables for a bit before her mother died. Back then you could put up a notice saying ‘No Ladies Served’ but you can’t do that nowadays. One of her brothers stayed home on the farm. Another brother worked in the County Hall but then left for Dublin to lecture in the college. He’s only dead with a year.</p> <p> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>0.09.51 - 0.13.33</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Mary talks about the Economic War and how that made it difficult for her own family to sell their cattle.

She talks about how WWII meant better prices for farmers.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Mary’s son Pat entered and after some introductions, Mary continued to talk more about the Economic War. Most of the farmers, especially the big farmers, were very opposed to Fianna Fail. Mary’s describes her father as a rabid Republican. Only a few of the other nearby farmers would have supported Fianna Fail. The local priests were going mad over Fianna Fail and comparing them to Bolsheviks. One of the priests, Canon Goold, used to ride around on a horse and often argued with Mary’s father over his support for Fianna Fail. Despite DeValera being responsible for the Economic War, Mary’s father still blamed England for the tariffs on cattle. Mary remembers being down in Ballineen selling cattle with her brother. Mary’s father had two heifers for sale but had trouble selling them. Mary was terrified of going home to her mother without money. The heifers ran off and Mary got them back, eventually being able to sell them for £6 each. In 1939 when the tariffs were removed, prices on cattle went up again. Mary remembers her father later selling two heifers to a buyer at home for £40. After that life became comfortable again. 1933 to 1939 were hard years according to Mary.</p> <p> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>0.13.33 - 0.17.37</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Mary talks more about her parents and how they survived the flu epidemic of 1918. The beginnings of the War of Independence and the use of safehouses in the area by the IRA. On some of the local men who were arrested on suspicion of IRA membership.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>During the First World War and just after, farmers got great prices for everything. Mary’s parents married in February 1918 and were able to live comfortably because the war meant they were able to sell anything. Mary’s parents both contracted the Spanish Flu while her mother was expecting her first child in 1918. The child had been due in February but arrived early in December. Because the flu was so contagious, people were terrified to enter the house to help. Both Mary’s parents survived. The two brothers renting the farm next door died from the flu. A local doctor told Mary that anyone who contracted the flu didn’t live to be old because it damaged their hearts. Straight after that, the trouble started according to Mary. A nearby house was used as a safe house by Republicans. Mary remembers her mother telling her how the Republicans would bring in straw and spread it all over the floor in the upper room. One night ten men slept there. Scouts stood by the windows and would tap with their guns if they saw anything. Mary’s son Pat points out a photo of a group of IRA suspects in Dunmanway Workhouse. Mary knew one of the men in the photo, Tim Buckley, who went to live in the United States. The other men in the photo were Richard Donovan, William Bohane and Jim Donovan. Tim Buckley married in the United States but his wife died from tuberculosis. They had one child.</p> <p> </p> <p>Tim came back to live in Ireland with his child because they couldn’t afford to live in the United States. He used to work on Mary’s farm sometimes. The day Tim Buckley was arrested he was carrying turf across the bog. The police had local information that he was helping the IRA but he wouldn’t have been very active in the IRA. They took him and others to the barracks in Cappeen. The Donovan’s weren’t with them because they weren’t local. William Bohane had no connection to the IRA but any young man found at home was suspected of being in the IRA. There was another young man who was a shoemaker, arrested at home in bed after being drunk. The Tans began questioning Tim Buckley and one of them hit him with his rifle in the mouth, knocking out his front teeth.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>0.17.50 - 0.20.25</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>On Mary’s paternal grandmother and their connections to Republicanism. How one of her cousins was almost caught by the Black and Tans and how some help from a local shopkeeper and the quick thinking of Mary’s mother saved them.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Mary’s paternal grandmother was from beyond Macroom and there might have been a Fenian tradition on that side of the family but not from her grandfather’s side. Her grandmother’s maiden name was also Murphy. Her neighbours fought against the Black and Tans near Macroom. Mary’s first cousin on her father’s side, Jim Murphy and another man named Charlie Brown came into Cappeen in a horse and trap with revolvers in their pockets and drove into a place full of Black and Tans. Even though the two men nearly died of fright they had to keep going. They tied up the horse and pretended to be going shopping. The shopkeeper saved their lives. Mary describes the shopkeeper as being well in with the Tans. Because of the shopkeeper, the Tans never searched the two men and let them go.</p> <p> </p> <p>They drove back up to Mary’s house and were met by Mary’s mother, who warned them that the Tans had just gone up the road. That was where they arrested Timmy Buckley. When Jim Murphy and Charlie Brown heard about the Tans, they tied the horse up and Mary’s mother put on her jacket, pretending she was going somewhere with the horse. The two men ran off down the fields. The Tans never came down as far as the house but instead went back the way they originally came because they had arrested Tim Buckley and the other men. They kept Timmy Buckley and the Donovan man for a week but let William Bohane go home. They must have had local information that William Bohane wasn’t in the IRA. They knew who was in it and who wasn’t.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>0.20.26 - 0.25.33</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>More on the War of Independence and the Civil War. Living not far from Kilmichael when the ambush took place. How a local man was suspected by the IRA of informing against them but later released thanks to information supplied by a local postmaster. On how fear of the IRA made people give them shelter. Mary’s grandmother gave shelter to the IRA but also had a daughter married to a member of the RIC.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>According to Mary, her parent’s house was never raided by the Tans. But it did get raided by the Free State soldiers during the Civil War. Her father had guns hidden under the hay and got a fright. There was a heavy shower and the Free State soldiers took shelter with the hay. They were sitting on top of the guns but never realised. The reason the Tans never raided the house was because they didn’t like going down the narrow roads if they could avoid it. It was too dangerous for them. The house was only a few miles away from where the Kilmichael ambush took place and Mary’s father heard the guns going off. There was an old notebook found on one of the Tans and Mary bought it off the Southern Star. She still has it in the house somewhere. After the Truce, when the British troops were evacuating Dunmanway, an Irishman took a diary out of a Tan’s pocket. The notebook contained information about the local IRA. Where they slept at night, how many guns they carried and descriptions of them. One man was arrested by the IRA on suspicion of being an informant and kept him for three days. His mother was searching the area, worried the IRA had shot him. A cousin of Mary’s father saved his life. He worked at the post office in Cappeen and knew who was really informing because he read the letters going to the Tans. Most of those letters were confiscated by the postmen. Mary thinks it was a woman who was informing.</p> <p> </p> <p>While most people in the local area weren’t Republicans, they still wouldn’t inform on them. Mary’s very near neighbours were more interested in making money and putting it into big farms. But there were some nearby who were very pro-IRA. People had no choice but to keep the IRA if they came because they would be afraid of them as well. Mary’s grandmothers house was further up into the hills and was also used as a safehouse by the IRA. One of her daughters was married to an RIC man in Dublin. But he had died before the War of Independence and she was living at home. One time, her husband’s brother, who was also in the Dublin Metropolitan Police, wrote to her asking could he visit for a holiday. He was fed up in Dublin and wanted to get away for a bit. Her grandmother wrote back to say he was welcome but he might have to share the house with people he wouldn’t agree with. He sat in the parlour with his hat on the table and a revolver under it, while IRA men ate in the kitchen. He didn’t say anything. Many of the RIC were sympathetic but still had to do their jobs. A lot of them didn’t want the Tans around either.</p> <p> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>0.25.35 - 0.28.44</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>On hearing stories about the War of Independence when she was young and trying to get relatives to talk about it.

When Timmy Buckley came back from America, he was always telling stories. Mary’s cousin, who was involved in ambushes during the War of Independence, never spoke about it. Mary tried to get him to talk about it. He was arrested during the Civil War and sent to Cork Gaol. He was among those who broke out of the prison. Mary thinks those who were very involved with the fighting didn’t want to talk about it. She thinks they hated what they had to do. Jim Murphy was involved in an attack on the Kilmurray barracks but they didn’t succeed. The barracks was burned down later. There was another man who used to come into her sisters pub and he was also very involved in the War of Independence. She thinks he shot a lot of people. One day, Mary was alone with him and kept asking him to talk about it. He told her about the Tans killing some people at a match in Glanmire and how the IRA were told to kill a British soldier for each person killed by the Tans. He described the three soldiers that they shot. They took the soldiers out to Blarney and shot them there. Mary thinks it had an awful effect on the man. He talked to himself a lot and was a bit daft from it. Mary thinks Ireland would have been worse off under England because we would have been bombed during WWII.</p> <p> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>0.28.45 - 0.37.47</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Mary talks about going to school until she was 15 and the stories she would have heard at home. She recalls the local tailor and how the children would play with the empty reels. Mary’s father was a big believer in hospitality and often welcomed tinkers to stay in exchange for them making household items. Tramps were also invited to stay, although Mary’s mother didn’t approve. Some of these were WW1 veterans dealing with shellshock. There was a story about a farmer down in Kerry who murdered his wife and tried to cover it up.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Mary attended school until the age of 15. There wasn’t much talk about the War of Independence period in school. One teacher might have talked about it. Mary would have been hearing the stories at home around the fire and she considers her home to have been a ‘rambling house’. John Hennessy, the shoemaker, along with a tailor, another shoemaker, a carpenter and a harness maker would all come to visit. The harness maker would come every few years to do the harness and would spend the day stitching up different things. They would take their shoes over to be repaired and getting new soles put on them. The tailor would make her fathers suit. The tailor has his own house up the road. The table took up the entire kitchen and there were big reels of thread on it. He kept all the empty reels for the children and they would put twine through them to make horses. Tinkers used to come and stay during the summer. Mary’s father would never refuse anyone. They would bring straw down from the haggart and put it into the trap. A big family would sleep in it for a week. The Tinkers would make tins, cups, jugs and milk containers to sell around. Mary thinks they had a place in Dunmanway. Around twenty years ago, Mary’s brother was at home one day. A big heavy woman came into the door. She wanted to show her son, who was home from England, where they used to spend their summer holidays. The house she used to stay in was gone. It was on the side of the road and had been knocked. It had been a big, long open shed.</p> <p> </p> <p>Mary’s father would never refuse anyone and he kept a lot of tramps. He didn’t like to see anyone else without a bed. These people would never come into the house, except the girls at night. Mary’s mother didn’t like them playing with the girls but her father encouraged it. Mary’s father felt you should be as nice to the tramp as you would be to the Bishop. Everyone should be treated equally. He wasn’t afraid of anyone. A man came one night, just after WW1, and a lot of them were suffering from shell shock. Mary’s mother refused to allow him to sleep in the house. They set up a mattress for him in the barn. He had a box of matches in his pocket and he spent the night cracking matches. The floor was covered in burnt matches. There was thunder and lightning during the night. Mary’s mother woke up and seeing the lightning, thought the man had set fire to the barn. She looked out and could hear him singing at the top of his voice at the thunder and lightning. Mary’s mother went off to mass the next morning, leaving her father and the young children at home with the man. He sang for them. Mary recites the words of the song.</p> <p> </p> <p>Mary’s father took an interest in everyone and they would all tell him their stories. Mary’s not sure if it’s fair to repeat some of the stories, in case these people have descendants in the area. Mary tells a story about a murder down in Kerry involving a very wealthy farmer. It was rare to hear about a murder in the paper back then. This farmer murdered his wife and tried to pretend that she died attempting to rescue a turkey from the well. But he was charged with the murder. A tramp came to Mary’s house and it was his aunt who was the murder victim. The tramp’s father was another wealthy farmer but the he left home because his father beat him when he was 16. He went down to a nearby town and enlisted in the British army. He described the Battle of the Somme. He began to smoke opium as a way of coping with the horrors of war and became addicted. When he was discharged he was offered either a pension or a lump sum. He took the lump sum and spent it all on drugs. That’s how he ended up going from door to door. Mary’s father would sometimes offer to give the tramp a shilling but he refused to take it. Mary doesn’t know what happened to the tramps. One tramp nearly died at their house but the ambulance came and took him away. They brought him to Clonakilty where he died there. Many of the tramps were very neglected. A lot of people would feed them. Some of the tramps would demand food. One of them was an ex-teacher who had fallen on hard times.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>0.37.52 - 0.39.07</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>On reading a book about Brendan Behan by Ulrick O Connor</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Mary was reading a book about Brendan Behan written by Ulrick O Connor.

One of Mary’s uncles went to live in America and Mary’s mother was delighted with this.</p> <p>One day, Mary’s aunt was visiting other cousins who were also in the IRA and met with Charlie Brown. She thought he was the image of her brother Willie, who was in America. A few weeks later, Charlie was arrested and he gave Willie’s name and address, claiming that he was Willie and was working in Fords in Cork. He was brought to the barracks in Cork. Mary’s aunt was married in Cork at the time. She was a very small woman, only 5’1 or 5’2 and expecting her second baby. She got word from the IRA to go to the barracks and identify her brother. Charlie Brown wrote a book about it afterwards and mentioned how this brave little woman came to get him out and saved his life. Speaking to Mary about it years later, her aunt said she was a terrified little woman. She was as terrified of refusing the IRA as she was of doing it. They were very nice to her in the barracks and promised not to do any harm to her. They allowed her to talk to her ‘brother’. The ruse worked and Charlie Brown was released. He was supposed to report to the barracks every week but he didn’t. Mary’s aunt had to flee Cork city as a result. Her baby was born at Mary’s house. She stayed there until the Troubles ended. The Truce was signed not long afterwards. She was lucky because the police could have found out who she was.

Nuala and Mary were allowed go back to Glan to see the dancing but weren’t supposed to do any dancing themselves. They went down on a Sunday. At the time there was a lot of animosity between different groups, Republicans and Blueshirts. They had an agreement that no political signs of any description were to be worn, like badges or blue shirts. It was a place for dancing and fun and not for politics. The following Sunday, they went down again and there was one girl there with a Blueshirt. Later, Mary saw 20 men wearing blueshirts and black ties coming down the road on bicycles. It was all arranged that the girl would be there and one of the Blueshirts started dancing with her. The minute they started dancing the music stopped and they started arguing about the no politics agreement. The next thing they were all beating each other. Nuala and Mary ran away home.

Mary said to her husband they would give up the shop and buy one of the houses. Mary couldn’t do it any longer. They put the shop up for sale. The man who bought the shop came and spent a day working behind the counter with them. He gave out sweets to all the children and told them he would be the new shopkeeper. The next day he rang Mary and told her he had decided not to bother. At the time there was a woman who used to help in the shop and she offered to rent it from them.

Mary’s mother was told to make a special tea because there was a very important person coming, Ms Price. Mary’s mother was a bit dicey about the IRA because she came from a different kind of a crowd. Mary’s mother claimed Ms Price didn’t thank her very much. Mary’s mother didn’t think much of her. Mary doesn’t think Tom Barry ever came into their house. Mary’s mother was from Kilmichael parish as well, only up the road from where they lived. Mary’s grandmother came from beyond Macroom. They were the ones with the IRA connections. The farm is still there but Mary’s family sold it. They called there one time and the farmer was clearing out a sand pit. He knocked out a big lot of ammunition. His two brothers went to America. They all had to emigrate then. There was no work in Ireland, even on the roads. The new Irish government favoured their own and Fianna Fail were the same.</p> <p> </p> <p>Emigration had a big part to play in Mary’s family. All her uncles went away. One uncle, Jim, was a Christian Brother, he ended up in New Zealand for 40 years. He came back to Ireland and died in Dublin, in the O’Brien institute. He was at Mary’s brothers wedding. He died suddenly from heart failure. The other two uncles went to America and they have families still there, Mary’s cousins. One lot of them came to visit Ireland once. One of the uncles came back to die in Ireland but he was a bit gone in the brain. Mary had a neighbour who visited them in America. They were living in Boston. Mary’s uncle Willie was in New York first, working as a bus driver. He had an accident with the bus. Mary found out about it from a neighbour. He was in America illegally and had to go away to avoid being found out. He travelled down to Boston. He married an Irish girl and had a family in Boston. He lived there all his life but died very young. He died from the flu and had it even worse than Mary’s parents.</p> <p> </p> <p>Mary’s older sister was born prematurely, when her parents were suffering from the flu and the weather was terrible. Mary’s grandmother and aunt were the only ones who would go into the house. They still took the baby down to be christened in case she died. She lived to be 83. She was the sister who owned the Gables Pub. Mary has a number of stories about her grandmother. She was a very tall woman, nearly 6ft. The rest of the family were small but her grandmother’s people were very tall. A number of them had been in the RIC. According to Mary, very few Catholics were accepted in the RIC, but they were so tall an exception was made. When her grandmother went down to the priests house to get Mary’s sister baptised, his housekeeper answered the door and told them they had to wait because the priest was having his dinner. Mary’s grandmother elbowed the housekeeper out of the way and marched into the room and told the priest to baptise the child. There were other traditions at the time such as Churching. Mary did it herself but it’s not done anymore.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>1.01.47 - 1.03.31</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Remembering some Halloween traditions when she was young and hearing ghost stories from some of the old men in the area.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. <br /><br />In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. <br />A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/).<br /><br />The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. <br />The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017.<br /><br />Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme. <br /><br /><strong>For further description and discussion of the Cork Memory Map project, see:</strong> <br />O’Carroll, Clíona (2011) ‘The Cork Memory Map’, Béascna 7: 184-188. <br /><br />O’Carroll, Clíona (2012) ‘Cork Memory Map: an update on CFP’s Online Project’, The Archive 16: 14. https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/research/corkfolkloreproject/archivepdfs/archive16.PDF <br /><br />Dee, Stephen and O’Carroll, Clíona (2012) ‘Sound Excerpts: Interviews from Heritage Week’, The Archive 16: 15-17. https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/research/corkfolkloreproject/archivepdfs/archive16.PDF <br /><br />Clíona O'Carroll (2014) 'The children's perspectives: Place-centred interviewing and multiple diversified livelihood strategies in Cork city, 1935-1960'.

Now you’d get two wafers maybe that time for tuppence and we’d be standing at the wall eating our wafers, the ice cream. And she’d say to me “In’t that lovely?” and I’d say “sure Jaysus, that’s gorgeous”. And then this Farmer then might come around, and Jaysus she used to make me laugh.

But God she was killed by the train so. Not sure I should say that or not, like. But, y’know, but me mam always used to give to her and she used to say “Erra for God’s sake, I’ve made enough now, that’s it”. And she’d go off. And I’d take the pram then off up Blarney Street, and she’d give me five shillings. </span></span></p> 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 The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. <br /><br />In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. <br />A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/).<br /><br />The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. <br />The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017.<br /><br />Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme. <br /><br /><strong>For further description and discussion of the Cork Memory Map project, see:</strong> <br />O’Carroll, Clíona (2011) ‘The Cork Memory Map’, Béascna 7: 184-188. <br /><br />O’Carroll, Clíona (2012) ‘Cork Memory Map: an update on CFP’s Online Project’, The Archive 16: 14. https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/research/corkfolkloreproject/archivepdfs/archive16.PDF <br /><br />Dee, Stephen and O’Carroll, Clíona (2012) ‘Sound Excerpts: Interviews from Heritage Week’, The Archive 16: 15-17. https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/research/corkfolkloreproject/archivepdfs/archive16.PDF <br /><br />Clíona O'Carroll (2014) 'The children's perspectives: Place-centred interviewing and multiple diversified livelihood strategies in Cork city, 1935-1960'.

Title A name given to the resource Mary Healy: Theatre, Gilbert & Sullivan, Society Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource Mary was born circa 1958, to parents who were both involved in the theatre. Her mother was a professional costume designer. Her father was a stage manager and an actor. She appeared on stage for the first time at the Opera House when she was 7 years old. The family moved to Douglas when she was 4. She talks about her parents’ involvement in theatre. They met while members of a Gilbert and Sullivan group, and another group, Theatre of the South, that put on Summer Revels. She comments that people often joined theatre groups for the social more than the thespian aspect. She herself became involved with Blackrock Players. She comments that Cork people go to shows which reflect both Cork and themselves as Cork people. She talks about the Everyman theatre then based in Father Mathew Street. Most theatre groups are amateur and part-time. She feels that theatregoing was more popular with Cork people in the past and that an audience for plays has been lost. Mary talks about the superstitions associated with theatre, such as not whistling in the dressing room. She recalls a story about a ghostly figure in a showband ballroom. She talks about the fire which burned down the original Opera House building. The opera house site had previously been occupied by the Munster Hall, and then by the Atheneum. She talks about earlier, forgotten theatres of Cork dating from the 1700s, and about The Loft and Father O’Flynn. Her own career has moved from acting to directing to administration. She discusses changes in women’s lives in Irish society.

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 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.

Title A name given to the resource Mary O’Donovan Description An account of the resource Mary is an elderly woman who recalls her life history. She feels that her memory is not so good, but she clearly recalls personal rather than more general events. Mary was born (circa 1901) in Sarsfield Terrace. Her aunt was ‘a lady’s companion’ to the wife of a colonel who lived in Sunday’s Well. Her grandmother wore a black cape and a black bonnet. The family moved to Hibernian Buildings, and then to Church Avenue, Chapel Hill. Her mother was a dressmaker. As a young woman she worked as a shirtmaker in Dwyer’s factory, and then met her husband. (She states later that she got married in 1922). She and her husband lived with her mother before the corporation gave her a house in Farranferris Avenue. She remembers a fragment of a skipping rhyme she sang as a child. She briefly describes the religious ceremony of ‘churching’, which she describes in a positive light. Mary worked for Tomás Mac Curtain, the Lord Mayor of Cork who was shot by the Black and Tans, and she describes her last day at work with him before he was killed. She sings a verse of ‘Wrap The Green Flag Round Me, Boys’, which a street singer had sung earlier in the day before Mac Curtain was shot. As a Girl Guide she joined others saying the Rosary outside a prison in Cork where Republican prisoners were on hunger strike.

Title A name given to the resource Cork 2005 Project Subject The topic of the resource Interviewing and radio project exploring migration, cultural contact and the social and physical landscape of Cork City in 2004 and 2005 and in the past, comprising of forty audio interviews and resulting in six half-hour radio programmes and a book. Description An account of the resource The Cork 2005 Project was carried out and funded as part of Cork’s tenure as European Capital of Culture in 2005. Building on the theme ‘City of Culture’, the project explored the questions: ‘What is the everyday culture of Cork City?’ and ‘Who are the people of the city?’, and aimed to broaden our archival holdings to reflect the increased numbers of migrants making their home in the city. 37 ethnographic interviews were carried out with Cork residents, more than two-thirds of whom had come to Cork from elsewhere, exploring their relationship with the cultural and social landscape of the city. The interviews include accounts of family life and growing up in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, England, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, Kurdistan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa Ukraine, and the United States. A six-part radio series, entitled ‘How’s it goin’, boy?’ was broadcast on Cork Campus Radio in 2005, and a book of the same name was published in 2006. You can listen to the radio programmes on our website: How's it goin', boy? Radio Series. The interviews in this collection all have a similar structure. We asked all interviewees to describe their childhood neighbourhoods and communities and to discuss their relationship with Cork city in the present day. We also discussed experiences of migrancy, first impressions and cultural contact with those who had come to Cork from elsewhere and with Corkonians who had experience of migration. Interviewees came from diverse areas including Australia, the Marsh, Nigeria, Brittany, Gurranabraher, Russia, Evergreen Street, Spain, Poland and Kurdish Iraq. The collection project was carried out from March 2004 – June 2005. Interviewers on the project: Jennifer Butler; Lee Cassidy; Sean Claffey; Diane Hoppe; Dolores Horgan; John Mehegan; Clíona O’Carroll; Mary O’Driscoll; Noel O’Shaughnessy: Frances Quirke.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com F.Q.: I know yeah, em, when you em, came living here then, em had you your five children at that stage. M.O.: Yes…hmm… I had. Em, and they would … they would have sort of played along the same lines, F.Q.: Would they, yeah? M.O.: They would, because, like they… they… at that stage they would have… in the site they would have eh, been collected by bus to go to school, and taken out to school and brought back and what happened in… in the sort of eh in that, sort of a process was, they weren’t… they wouldn’t have been getting the level of education that I would have got, so I suppose, directly, thinking of the children em, I decided to move them, from… you see they were in a structure that was… that the department of Education set in place in the mid-seventies, thinking about traveller children that were going to be coming into the education system and it was the special classes for travellers and they were in that structure and then I wasn’t satisfied with that structure, so I decided to move them, but the… the response I got from the very people who were delivering the structure that the department put in place was shock because they really couldn’t con… conceive that like this is a traveller woman and she’s standing up and she’s sort of taking charge of her children and like, as I said to the principle at one stage, like, I’m sorry now, I said, but I delivered these children, I gave birth to them, so I am entitled to educate them whatever way I want to educate them, but em, like experiences like that now, would have…I would have sort of because of the… the background, the education, eh, the whole sort of comfort thing with school and stuff like that, it stood at times like that. F.Q.: It stood well to yeah, it gave ye experience, yeah. M.O.: Because it gave… it gave me the confidence to know that I could actually stand up and say, hello, I’m not satisfied with this. I… I know from experience that there’s more to education, like they would never do history, they wouldn’t do geography, eh, they wouldn’t do… a little bit of maths. Once they were able to sign for the dole, now, that was the whole em sort of em, the purpose and aim of that… that structure. Once you were able to sign for the dole that was fine. Once we teach ‘em to sign their name, grand. F.Q.: They were giving them a little but they weren’t giving the whole lot, ya. M.O.: That was it... that was it. But it… the shocking thing was that it actually came from the Department of Education. That structure actually was brought down from there and implemented here and the psychological damage that was done to these children, now I caught mine in time em, but still there was a whole psychological thing that went on for them because, I thrown them into the… the deep end in a sense by putting them to national school. The… national school that I would have gone to and would have negotiated with the teachers and the principle for support structures to be put in place for them, because, I remember the three teachers that actually took them, em, asked me to come in and meet them an’, went in and grand and… and they were in a very nice way trying to sort of tell me that the … that they were backward, because they were missin’… they were missin’ huge chunks of education. But when I explained to them why, they completely understood. You know, they weren’t backward it’s just that they were never taught any of the subjects, an’ that goes for an awful lot of traveller children that would have sort of, either gone from Cork to other parts of the country and eh, I remember reading a survey in college and it was done in the earl… the early seventies, and it… this was a government document now, and it was… it stated like that, structures should be set in place… structures and guidelines should be set in place for like… preparing for traveller children that were going to be coming into the education system. That structures and guidelines the same as for backward children should be set in place. F.Q.: God! M.O.: And I’m like reading’ that I was like, oh my God, 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 Mary O’Sullivan: Travelling Community, Education, Prejudice, Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Traveling Community; Description An account of the resource Mary is a Traveller who developed a love of education, which she has tried to instil in others. She talks in detail about her experience of being a Traveller and about the lives of older generations and the history of her community. Mary was born in Skibbereen, and her family moved to Cork City when she was four years old. After living in a wagon in a lane, the family moved to a house in Ballyphehane. Her mother had 11 children, and this influenced the decision to settle down. She had a very positive experience of education from Primary school onwards. In a reverse of the usual pattern, when she got married she moved into a caravan and reared her children there. She was not happy with the education offered for her children and took them out of a scheme for Traveller children. She talks in detail about education for Travellers and describes her experience of helping adults to learn. She also helped to form the Cork Traveller Women’s Network to articulate the needs of her community. She talks about her father’s transition to settled life in a house. He continued as a tinsmith and fixer for a while. He used to tell the children ghost stories (and she mentions two examples). He played the melodeon and his favourite song was “O’Sullivan John to the Road You’ve Gone”; he also busked with Pecker Dunne. A treat for her as a child was Dripping Cake. She sees herself as a Cork person as well as a Traveller, and she has a fondness for the Shandon area and the English Market. She says that her grandmother fed passing squads of Black and Tans and that Travellers were instrumental in passing on news of their arrival in Kinsale during the War of Independence.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. <br /><br />In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. <br />A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/).<br /><br />The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. <br />The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017.<br /><br />Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme. <br /><br /><strong>For further description and discussion of the Cork Memory Map project, see:</strong> <br />O’Carroll, Clíona (2011) ‘The Cork Memory Map’, Béascna 7: 184-188. <br /><br />O’Carroll, Clíona (2012) ‘Cork Memory Map: an update on CFP’s Online Project’, The Archive 16: 14. https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/research/corkfolkloreproject/archivepdfs/archive16.PDF <br /><br />Dee, Stephen and O’Carroll, Clíona (2012) ‘Sound Excerpts: Interviews from Heritage Week’, The Archive 16: 15-17. https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/research/corkfolkloreproject/archivepdfs/archive16.PDF <br /><br />Clíona O'Carroll (2014) 'The children's perspectives: Place-centred interviewing and multiple diversified livelihood strategies in Cork city, 1935-1960'.

You can do it later.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:1.27cm;text-indent:-1.27cm;margin-bottom:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:200%;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="background:transparent;">M M: Well, Scoura Hill now was the old Ballyvolane Road and when I was a child there were a couple of houses still there. Quinna now lived in one and his brother. The rest would have been ruins and they’d have been at the side of what were known as the Glen and he used to sing that on a Sunday night, Scoura Hill, and we’d have great fun singing it. If I can remember it Breda, I might get mixed up.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:1.27cm;text-indent:-1.27cm;margin-bottom:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:200%;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="background:transparent;">B S: It doesn’t matter if you get it mixed up, you know.

Title A name given to the resource Mary Marshall: Blackpool, Childhood, Hunting, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Mary grew up in Thomas Davis Street, Blackpool. Both her parents were from Blackpool. Her mother liked to use Grand Parade library, and her father was an avid reader who told stories from Greek mythology. At the time the area bounded onto the countryside and there were many country people there. She mentions some shops and businesses in the area, such as Mrs Tobin’s shop, Molly Howe’s pub, May Rogers’ shop, Edwards’ dressmakers and a neighbour who repaired radios. She played in Dan Duggan’s field. Her father kept dogs and used to go otter hunting. As a child she moved from Saint Vincent’s school to the North Presentation. The family of Gypsy Lee, a fortune teller, lived nearby; she used to make paper flowers. During the 1950s animals used to be herded through the streets. Alice Fray collected household waste for pigs. Jackie Cremin, of Spring Lane, had a piggery. After hunting everybody would go back to the pub (pubs closed at 7 o’clock then). She sings a song that her father used to sing, called ‘Scoura Hill’.
