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. 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. 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/). 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. 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. 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.

What the significance of it I never knew but all the kids would just wait for the punchline (fumbling with recorder and microphone) as I don’t know what it meant “Mr Loughlin, have you a match?” but they’d all be there. Hanging on, waiting for that to be said. And they’d be hilarious laughter then after that. But he just had that way with them that he was very good very good with kids you know. He was very very witty man you know but he won’t be a joke-teller you know. 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 Bernie McLoughlin: Turner's Cross, Ford's, UCC, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Bernie was born in 1939 and reared in Turner’s Cross. His mother had been a bookkeeper and his father was a supervisor in the post office. He had an older brother and an older sister, and he spent a lot of time with his parents. He remembers queues for the first bananas arriving in Cork after the war. As a child he was able to walk into the countryside nearby and entertain himself; he and his friends also played cricket and went to the cinema. He tells a story about drying soccer jerseys in a cinema. His mother sang to entertain herself, operatic arias to which Cork people had added their own lyrics; he gives a humorous example. He describes the school day, and how family life revolved around meals; what meals were eaten. He remembers his school in O’Sullivan’s Quay; he had a happy school life and a good relationship with teachers. He went to UCC and remained to study there for 6 years. He liked teaching but got a job in Ford’s; he disliked the management style of the place but stayed until he got a brain haemorrhage and retired. He recalls the reasons for the demise of the factory.

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 for this interview or other interviews please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com D.H: Billy are there any places in Cork that bring back memories to you or that you see every day and have a little bit you want to talk about. B.Mc: Yes there are, I think the Lough in Cork comes to mind straightaway - it is a place one of the earliest memories I have I’m sure of going someplace without my parents; it would be fifteen, twenty minutes walk from where I lived in Quaker Road in Cork, em we used to go there after school to fish for torneens, sticklebacks. sticklebacks ok, we used to fish for them there, and roach and rudd and that sort of thing; long summer evenings fishing for those. Another thing that comes very close to my memory when I speak of the Lough is the Hurling League matches that used to be played there, oh I’m talking fifty years ago, and they were sponsored by Dan Hobbs who was a men’s clothier in Patrick Street; he was also a local comedian who appeared many times on the stage of the old Opera House, em, he had a slogan which said, you see he was a men’s clothier, and he used to have the slogan if you want to get ahead get a hat. As I say he used to sponsor the local hurling leagues at the Lough which were played in the long summer evenings! Another incident was my brother had a what we would call a racing bicycle - a bicycle with turned down handlebars, you know, and he was very, very particular about that: he wouldn’t let us use that, we were too young to use that, so that was his pride and joy. But one summer he went to the country working as a helper on a combine harvester, (combine harvesters were very new at the time, and they used to require so many people working around them), and he was doing that for the whole summer, and while he was away I took advantage of his bike, and one day we were cycling in the Lough. Now you can walk right around the Lough: there is an inner path and an outer path; the outer path was always regarded as an Irish mile around the Lough, now it would take a person walking a good ten or eleven minutes to walk around the outer side, but that wasn’t good enough for me: I was cycling the bike in the inner path. Now there is a little wall all the way around it, it is about ten inches high, now while I was cycling around the Angelus bell rang, are you familiar with the Angelus? The Angelus bell rang, and being brought up in the strict religious code that I was, I made a sign of the Cross, and to do that of course it entailed taking my right hand off the handlebar, and while I had lost concentration for that moment, the front wheel of the bike struck the curb which ran right around the Lough and I went head over heels into the Lough with the bicycle following on top of me. Completely submerged in the water, and that’s the way I had to go home and confess my sins that I had taken my brothers bike out and that I had to suffer the consequences. That for me was the Lough, it has many, many memories, and eh I brought my children there down the years, and now I bring my grandchildren there! D.H: Do you find that it is the same, or that it has changed in these many years? B.Mc: The beauty of it in fact is that it is full of wildlife now, it is full of so many different birds - there were just swans and water hens on it in my time, but now there all sorts of ducks and geese that weren’t known around here then, but it is now a wildlife sanctuary and it is beautifully kept and it’s lovely to see, so the Lough has improved to what it was in my time. Legends surrounding the Lough, there is actually the legend of the Lough, which is, it has been written in quite a number of books written about Cork and it’s a the story goes that it is the site where once stood a great castle and the King of the Castle of course had the usual beautiful daughter, who was enthralled with this lovely prince, and one night when there was a big feast in their honour being held at the castle, the King asked the princess to go to the well and bring a jug of fresh water for the table, but warned her that she wasn’t to spill any water because the story went if the water was spilled then the castle would be submerged in water. So the princess went and of course the prince being the gentleman that he was he accompanied her to the well, the jug overflowed, and spilled, and the castle was submerged, everybody was lost, and people say that on particular moonlit nights now you can still hear the music that was being played at the ball, at the time of the function you know, so that is something along the lines of the legend of the Lough now which you can read in quite a number of books about Cork. So that is the Lough was just a beautiful place to go, and it seemed the natural place to go of a sunny summers evening. Fitzgeralds Park too was obviously a great attraction for us young people, particularly I think in our teenage years, when eh guys like myself were chasing the girls and that you know, you’re always bound to find them around Fitzgeralds Park lying out there in the sunshine, and I think that is where we did most of our courting in our time so a lot of memories there. A lot of memories too in the Marina for the same reason; you know we didn’t have any transport or anything like that so all these places were in walking distance and we would spend many, many hours around there. For instance on a Sunday evening, you would have motorcycling on what was then known as the Monaghan circuit, it consisted of the Monaghan Road and Centre Park Road, the motorbikes used to race up and down those roads, there was a natural circuit there, em, so that used to take up quite a lot of our time, eh watching the motorcycle racing, which doesn’t happen anymore of course. Again there were motorcycling racing on the Carrigrohane circuit which consisted of the Carrigrohane straight road, out as far as where the roundabout before you come to Ballincollig (the Poulavone Roundabout) eh bicycles would round that and go back the Model Farm Road, as far as Dennehy’s Cross, go out then to Victoria Cross and back out the straight road again, and that would have carried on up to possibly twenty years ago, when there were some objections I think from the residents of Model Farm Road (that became fairly well built up at that time) and these motorbikes would have been practicing there three, four o’clock in the morning, em, so now you would still have what they call the Flying Kilo, and that sort of thing, there is a kilometre marked out on the Carrigrohane straight where they do speed trials, and that sort of thing, but that’s as far as it goes now, you don’t have the Carrigrohane in use anymore. Do you know all those things they all mean something, and they’re all memories of childhood and growing up in Cork you know, that’s nice to think back on. D.H: This has been wonderful, thank you very much, Billy! B.Mc: You’re very welcome indeed.

Title A name given to the resource Billy McCarthy: Childhood, Catholicism, GAA. Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Catholicism, Cork Airport, Emigration, Farming, Fishing, Fitzgerald’s Park, GAA, Holy Communion, Hurling, Inisfallen, Legends, The Lough, Nationalism, Poverty, Religion, Quaker Road, Sunbeam, Travelers, Trams, War of Independence. Description An account of the resource Billy, a one-time Cork Folklore Project member of staff and long-term collaborator, was born in Cork in 1941 and grew up with his six siblings in Quaker Road. His mother was born in Cork and his father came from Dunmanway. Billy attended St Marie’s of the Isle convent school and then Christ the King School in Turners Cross. Billy recalls that, even though times were hard, life was good, and people didn’t feel underprivileged because all their neighbours were equally poor. He talks about emigration and the Innisfallen ship that sailed out of Cork City every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, full of emigrants. He would make money as a child carrying bags for country people arriving by bus heading for the boat. He witnessed the heartbreak at the quayside, and he calls this the ‘sad side’ of life in Cork. Billy recalls having to leave school at fifteen to take over his father’s job as a bread van driver when his father took ill. His career also included working at Sunbeam (Sunbeam Wolsey Textiles), which he describes in detail, and at Cork Airport. Billy talks about his father, who started off working as a tram driver then became a bread van driver, and who was also involved in the War of Independence. Billy talks about the characters he met while working with his father, collecting eggs and bread from country people and Travellers. He tells a tragic-comic story about his Holy Communion and the May procession. He talks about various aspects of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), including his presidency of the Douglas club, an account of what hurling is and how it is played, and the link between the GAA and Irish Nationalism. He tells a humorous story about being taken out of school to cycle from Cork to Watergrasshill to tend sheep on land his father owned. Billy also remembers fishing and playing hurling up at the Lough. He shares memories of the Lough and its changing environment over the years. He remembers trying to meet girls in Fitzgerald’s Park. He recalls motorcycle racing on Monahan Road and Centre Park Road, and on the Carrigrohane circuit on Sundays.

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

Title A name given to the resource Billy McCarthy: Quaker Road, Public Baths, Childhood Description An account of the resource Billy was born in 1941. His mother, Mary Ann Cronin, was from Mayfield; her father, William Cronin served with the British army during the First World War, and later became a postman. His father’s family came from Dunmanway, West Cork. His father, Patrick McCarthy, served with the IRA between 1919 and 1921, and later came to Cork to work as a conductor on the trams. He was reared on Irish nationalist history and recites a poem he wrote in his twenties, The Glorious Hour, about Michael Collins and Tom Barry. Billy grew up at Quaker Road. The house had a large garden, and his father raised pigs; on the way to Murphy's Bacon Factory on Evergreen St, they were taken through the house itself. He comments on watching the pigs being slaughtered in the factory. Billy remembers Scannell and Finnegan’s shop, which sold oils, and scrap pictures for scrapbooks. Teenage treats could be got at Kiely’s Chip Shop Maylor St, which he believes was one of the first in the city, and at Harrington’s milk and cake shop. He tells a story about playing street hurling and being caught and fined by the police. Swimming could be done at the indoor Eglantine Street Baths and outdoor Lee baths at the Straight Road. In Summer these were always overcrowded, and he learnt to swim in the River Lee instead. Billy talks briefly about fishing for tadpoles, roach and trout. As a kind of initiation, young boys would lie beside the railway tracks as a train passed. He recalls “the snotty bridge”, an old limestone bridge that had developed stalactites underneath it over time. He sings a song called The Leprechaun. Billy recalls the polio epidemic of 1957 and the fact that Cork people were not welcome in other counties as a result. He briefly recalls the Marian year of 1954. He sings a song called “By Degrees”.

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.

Her Maiden name was Hackett. She says her family moved to Templeacre when she was 1 or 2. There was not many houses around then. The houses were new and surrounded by lots of fields. The Orthopaedic Hospital was up the road in a field. They used to play by the shop up beside the Orthopaedic. It was called “Ann’s shop”. It was run by Ann and her husband john who lived upstairs with their family. She recalls moving from the Marsh about 65 years ago to a brand new house. She remembers they were never allowed near the Orthopaedic “the fear of God was put into them about the Orthopaedic”. She recalls there was a little house outside the gate and there would be a light on at night and it would be the only light you would see around the whole of the Orthopaedic. She says “she doesn’t know where they got the idea they were in there chopping legs and hands off. That’s what you went in there for, you went in there, you lost something, a hand or a leg, some part. It was very quiet hospital, you’d hardly see anyone going in or out there. Mostly people came from the country and they would come up on the bus and it would be a day out for them to see their person in there. Thank God we never had to go in there to see anybody for years and years” CFP NOTE The Marsh is an area in cork also known as the middle Parish. It is located between the Coal Quay, Mercy hospital, the river and Washington St. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm .19cm;"> 0.03.28 - 0.06.25 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm .19cm;"> More detail about the Orthopaedic Breda recalls that it was a very dark building with a few trees there. They always thought it was a haunted building, it looked like that. There was a family living in the house at the entrance to the hospital. She says it was “curiosity that drew them up towards the house and they would get up a bit of the way and you were hunted back down. A man would come out and hunt us away from the Orthopaedic. She clarifies the house at entrance was the Gate lodge of the Orthopaedic. The Interviewer ask about the walk up to the hospital from Bakers road which didn’t exist at that time Breda says she used to venture up towards the hospital when she was about 6 or 7. There was nothing except the shop up in the area. The credit union that is there now on Bakers road used to be in the basement of Gurranabraher church for years. CFP NOTE: the credit union is now Baker's Rd credit union, Gurranabraher, Cork </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm .19cm;"> 0.06.25 - 0.08.24 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm .19cm;"> Change of perceptions of the Orthopaedic Breda recalls that her perceptions of the Orthopaedic hospital didn’t change for a “good many years” until she had children herself and the dental hospital moved into the Orthopaedic and she used to go down to the dental hospital. She does remember one occasion when a neighbour ended up in the Orthopaedic with a few broken bones. When she heard she said “O my God, He’s down that hospital” Breda says she had never been in there but she had to go down to see him because he was a neighbour and had no one belong to him. Breda recalls going into the hospital “with the fright of God in her and she couldn’t even sit down because she was so nervous, but he seemed ok and it seemed a normal hospital. It wasn’t like what they had made it out to be”. Breda’s neighbour got on fine there and the visit had gotten rid of a bit of fear. She says she went out the gate “on air”. It was her first time coming to that that “horrible place she thought it was” After that she got married and moved to Knocknaheeny and used to bring her children down to the dental hospital </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm .19cm;"> 0.08.25 - 0.10.26 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm .19cm;"> Different uses of the Orthopaedic hospital The interviewer asks Breda what she knows about the different uses of the Hospital. It was known to be used as a fever hospital or for polio patients. Breda says she always knew that the fever hospital was in Blackpool in Leitrim St. Her mother talked about it for years. Breda says her and her brother were both in the fever hospital because they picked up scarlet fever. She says it wasn’t too dangerous when she got it but her mother’s sister died aged 21 from scarlet fever because they didn’t have any cures at the time. Breda she was in the fever hospital when she was 3 or 4 and her brother was only 11 months older than her. Breda says her mother always talked about having to go down to the fever hospital and having to walk up the long steps leading up to it. She says she never thought the Orthopaedic had anything to do with fever hospital. She thinks that people were in the orthopaedic with Polio but she is not too sure </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm .19cm;"> 0.10.26 - 0.13.02 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm .19cm;"> More earlier memories Breda says she got married in 1971 and moved from the family home in Templeacre to an apartment in Leitrim St for a number of years until she had her first two children. She got a new house in Harbour View Road in Knocknaheeny. It was surrounded by fields. “You would get up in the mornings and open the curtains and there would see a cow, so the kids were all excited about that” There was such a demand for houses they rushed people in. the pathways were not even finished. Breda says she didn’t mind waiting for a footpath or gate or railings. She was delighted to have the house. The new house was at the back of the Orthopaedic. The back of the house was the wall of the orthopaedic Breda says when her children were growing up “she still had the fear of the orthopaedic and brought it with her” and maybe gave it to her children as well. When she was getting them off their dummies (children’s soothers) she used to say the dummies had gone over the wall into the Orthopaedic and none of her children used to go near the wall. Breda says that was the end of the dummies and it “worked a treat”. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm .19cm;"> 0.13.02 – 0.16.44 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm .19cm;"> Closing of the Orthopaedic Breda remembers the closing of the hospital but can’t remember what year. She says it became a very busy and open hospital. It changed from that “Haunted place” they thought it was. People started getting jobs there, in the kitchen, the laundry. It gave employment to the Northside which was very badly needed, Breda says, because it was it was very poor up there. She says there was talk about it closing down which was terrible in her opinion. She says there was protests and people were going mad. A lot of the workers lived in Churchfield. Farranree, Templeacre and Bakers road. There would be a lot of families without wages. Breda says it was the start of a lot of things shutting down on the Northside. “It was in people’s minds that they were shutting down everything. It went from the Orthopaedic to the North Infirmary which was down the road and the dental that was across the road from the North Infirmary was all shut down. There were starting to shut down things on the Northside of the city. That was horrible” The interviewer asks Breda about the sense of loss of the after the Orthopaedic was closed down and Breda replies that it is a brilliant building and that it is being used for community purposes for doctors and an A&E. She says that it should be used as a hospital because they took the North Infirmary and the Orthopaedic, there should be something for the Northside even if it was only an ambulance bay. Breda says the urgent care centre that is there now is fabulous but it will take time for people to get used to it Breda is asked do people still feel that something was taken away from them with the loss of the hospital and no matter what is there people will still feel they should have a hospital. She says she does </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm .19cm;"> 0.16.44 - 0.20.29 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm .19cm;"> Development Of the Orthopaedic hospital Breda is asked about she knows about the redevelopment of the Orthopaedic. She says there will be community involvement. Doctors will be moving in and not much else except that the dental will be there and it will be great when it gets up and running. She says people miss the hospital. “There is a huge lot of land there, they could have had a hospital, they could have had the health care service, they could have had the dental, they could have had a lot up here. They take one thing and give another. But I think people still feel that we were robbed”. Breda thinks the new development will be fabulous but will be mainly for younger families, where the older people will think they took our Orthopaedic. The interviewer informs Breda about new services going into the site, GP practices, Dental etc. and asks her if it will change their feeling about the Orthopaedic. Breda says “they probably will when it all start happening but you can’t blame people either, all down through the years things were taken and shut down and lost jobs and all of that and people won’t see all this till it’s up and running and its happening. It’s hard to put belief into people… There will probably be great benefit for people”. Breda recalls going into the Orthopaedic after she had an operation to get her dressing changed. It saved here having to go into town. It was a good service and nice people </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm .19cm;"> 0.20.29 - 0.26.25 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm .19cm;"> Importance of the redevelopment Breda says a café would be important as a meeting place for locals and they should bring the local people in and show them what is there, there should also be a big opening day. Breda says access is another important factor, there should be pedestrian access from the Knocknaheeny side. Two different access roads that they were promised are now not happening. It leaves only one access road into the Orthopaedic and after putting all that money into it people probably won’t come down. Breda believes the planners are responsible and that another information session should happen and it could be advertised at mass because churches are starting to fill up again and people that hear it could go and spread it around the community. Breda says people don’t look at notice boards or buy papers anymore because of all the negative stuff on them. She also says put a leaflet into every house and give information that way. Also a credit union should put a leaflet into your deposit book. Breda feels there are positive things happening there, but she had heard “Doubting Thomas’s” (sceptical people) saying that will never finish they will run out of money. She says “you have that in the Northside because of stuff being taken from people. I now they gave a lot as well, a lot of people wouldn’t see that if they didn’t have children in schools... schools have everything, cos I worked there myself for 20 years, they have everything there great” altogether End of interview </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> 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 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.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound The following is a short extract from the interview transcript, copyright of the Cork Folklore Project. If you wish to access further archival material for this interview or other interviews please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com BS ‘Twould depend now on whether I was very very close to my grandmother so my mother was a very bad cook even though my father was a cook in the army so I suppose that compensated a bit but she was a very bad cook. But then I learned from a very young age that my grandmother, my grandmother was a great cook, so my grandmother lived in Farranree in St.Michael’s Road, so I would go from school maybe at half-past twelve to my grandmother’s house, for my dinner and then I’d go back to school then for two o’clock and I think we’d finish at half past three. Then I’d come home and then I’d have, I suppose we’d play on the road for a while. We’d do our homework. That time we had no television so a lot of our activities would have been outdoors, you know, we would have been maybe on the street until maybe half eight, nine o’clock in the evening playing games. S HG What type of games would you play? B S I suppose when I was kind of maybe ten, eleven, twelve, we would have been playing, it would have varied, there would have been boys games and girls games. You know girls would have played skipping now and we would have been, there was a game we used to call, I can’t remember what we used to call it but we would get five small little stones that would have been very smooth so you’d throw one up and while that’s coming down, you’d try and catch the one that’s below, until eventually, you’d catch the five, you’d have the whole five in the palm of your hand. We’d have marbles that you’d, you know you’d put up against the kerb of a footpath and we used to call ‘em glassie allies and you’d get those in all different shapes and colours they were. They were lovely glass marbles and you know they’d reflect colours and everything in ‘em. So you’d have to hit one, so if you, if you managed to hit one you won it. But if you lost then and you didn’t hit it, you forfeited your marble. We’d have scraps, that time you could buy scraps like they, they were like for all the world, they were paper but they were shiny paper if you know what I mean of all different shapes and you could get circus animals, you could get anything at all in the scraps so we’d swap those, and we’d have copy books then and we’d have all our scraps in the copybooks. We’d play chasing, then we had a game where, I can’t remember the name of it, but we’d like say stand at the footpath and run, where I lived now there was no houses opposite me, like there was the wall of the factory, which would have been Gouldings and that wall would have ran the whole length of Spring Lane, so opposite our house we just had the wall, a big wall, so we would run from there to the wall, but you’d be told stop. So you could take so many steps and stop and whoever would reach the wall first would be the winner of the game, you know. So that’s what we did to occupy ourselves. I was sixteen, I think when we got a television and we were the first on the road to get a television. And it was in black and white, we had one station and everybody in the road came in, to look at the television. So. S HG And just to go back, you mention the pocket money you’d get for you’d save it from the bus, what would you spend your pocket money on? B S I would spend my pocket money on whatever would last longest and I would, that was something that I really thought out, I didn’t spend it now stupidly. I would buy Cleeves Toffee which was, it was like squares of toffee but you would buy it in a bar, for all the world now, it would be like a Cadburys bar of chocolate but instead of it being chocolate, it would be toffee where you could break off one square at a time, so I think that was around sixpence and that would last you for a long time. But as a result like that had, we didn’t realise going back that time about you know the danger of sweets or sugary foods with your teeth so I lost a lot of my teeth when I, before I was eighteen and it was over, over the Cleeves Toffee. [laughs] S HG [laughs] Where would you buy your toffee? Was there a sweet shop or? B S Oh there would have been lots of shops. When I was growing up in Blackpool, Thomas Davis Street was all shops. Like it was residential and commercial but it was mainly commercial. There would have been, the main street would have been mainly commercial but off the main street then which was Thomas Davis Street, you’d lots of laneways. You would have had Bird’s Quay, Welshs Lane, Green Lane, Slattery's Lane and Fosters Lane which would have been renamed and it would have been called Thomas Davis Avenue after we got our independence but nobody locally referred to it as Thomas Davis Avenue, we always called it Fosters Lane. And on the other side of the street then, you would have Prosperous Place and you would have Wherlands Lane and there was Haylans Lane as well. There was Corcoran's Quay. So you had the commercial main street but you had all these laneways running off the street and running parallel then to Thomas Davis Street would have been, what we would have called locally as the High Bank. It was, it was part of the Glen, it was the Glen River, the Glen river ran through Gouldings Glen and came down behind Spring Lane, behind Gouldings and down, running parallel with Thomas Davis Street so that would have been a place where we would have played as well because it, you had stream, it was a bank for all the world and you had a stream running down the side. Growing up we were very lucky, as I said we were very near the country at that time and we had Gouldings Glen which is literally on our doorstep so Gouldings Glen was like kind of set in a valley, and you know you had the Glen River running through so you could swim there in the summer. Oh, you could, you’d spend hours up there, you know in a glen you’d have great fun. S HG Would a lot of families go down to take their children or would children just go down to play or? B S Oh, we’d play there on our own, that’s a thing now that has changed as well, you couldn’t leave children out today and especially going to, what would have been really a very lonely place looking back on it, to us it was tranquil and it was a fantastic place like to play you know, because there was all high furze bushes, now I don’t know what the proper name for those would be, but they would have been, you could hide and play, you had the streams and you could be, you know running over the streams. It was great and also we had another stream, not very far from us as well, it was Ellis’ House, Ellis’, I told you about Ellis gravel yard, but they had a house, not very far from us, and running by their house as well was another stream. I don’t know the name of that stream. S HG How would you, you said children could go off and play on their own back when you were growing up, how would you compare that to today in terms of safety and you know leaving your child go off to the shop or is that even possible? B S It is possible to a degree. Today now it is possible to a degree to leave children out, where I live now at the moment which wouldn’t have been very far from where I was reared, I live now in Dublin Hill. And children are always playing in Dublin Hill on the streets, and it is quite safe and they could go to the shop as well, but to leave them go off out to somewhere in the country, you know what would be regarded now as the country and to leave them go into woods, you know that wouldn’t be safe. You know, I think even I was more nervous even when my own children. Even though I did it as a child and we all did and it was quite safe even when my own children were growing up, you would have been more wary. They were allowed to go but they always had to have older children with them, like maybe somebody twelve, thirteen minding the smaller ones but today now again that wouldn’t be safe. S HG And going back as well to the old laneways, can you just describe those laneways and what sort of activities that take place? B S I suppose as a child, you take things for granted and you don’t really take in much about what’s going on around you, you just take it for granted, but the laneways in Blackpool, I suppose they would have been very similar to Spring Lane only Spring Lane like was a very very long lane, you know, Spring Lane like went from Thomas Davis Street right up to, to where actually to where the fire station is now, on the new ring road, the new north ring road, Spring Lane would have ran parallel with that the whole way up nearly as far as there. Whereas with the laneways in Blackpool, they were much shorter little laneways and I’d say they were, they were communities. I’d say the neighbours were very neighbourly as they were in Spring Lane. I can only compare the laneways now I suppose to my own laneway and in our own laneway, if a child came home and there happened to be nobody at home, the neighbour always brought you in and cared for you. If you were sick the neighbour was always sent for to come in and diagnose what was wrong with you. Just looking back on it, I thought it was normal at the time but looking back on it was very very unusual, we had a family that lived next door to us, and they were a large family because both, both parents had been widowed, and with, had lost their partners and they had remarried so in a sense there was like three families. There was the woman’s family and the man’s family, and then their family together, so they would have had, the bread man used to come around that time, well I don’t know if the bread man goes around now, but that time the bread man would come around and her windows, she had two windows, she had a window at either side of her door, and the two window sills would have been full of bread. Now all homemade bread, so if I came home from school or if my mother wasn’t there and I’d, there was no bread, I’d go out and I’d have a look at what kind of bread they’d have on the window and she’d have all different varieties of bread so I would choose what loaf that I would, that I would fancy and I would take it in and then when my mother would come in, oh I’d say to my mom, mom I took a loaf of bread belong to next door. So we’d be sent to the shop then to get it to replace it, but you know, thinking about it that woman never ever objected to me going out and taking a loaf of her bread. You couldn’t do that today, you know. S HG Its amazing the difference in the. B S Yeah, you couldn’t do that today. And you know you could have a neighbour up the road that would maybe, we had one single neighbour up the road now, and if she cooked a stew for herself and she’d cooked too much, she’d come down with her big jug and all the stew in it for us, you know, because like I suppose my father’s wages weren’t very good and like, there was, we were a large family but it was a different world, you know, totally different world to what it is now.

Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Blackpool, Childhood games, Ellis’s, Goulding's, Lido cinema, Spring Lane. Description An account of the resource Breda grew up in Spring Lane, off Thomas Davis Street, Blackpool. She grew up with five sisters. Her father was a soldier in the Irish Army and was away a lot. She grew up in a row of cottages that she believes dated back to the Seventeenth Century. People rented their houses until the 1950s, when they began to buy them. In the 1970s, the area bounded both the city and the countryside. It was also an industrial area, with Goulding’s fertilizer factory and Ellis’s gravel yard. During the 1950s men queued at Gouldings looking for casual work. She lists the games and pastimes she played as a child: catching stones, marbles (‘glassy allies’) and scraps (scrapbooks). She names the lanes around Thomas Davis Avenue, which residents called by its old name, Foster’s Lane. Neighbours looked out for each other’s children and for each other. She tells a story about looking for apples at the Ellis family house, nearby. The Lido cinema in Blackpool showed episodic films, which she loved to see with her grandmother; she describes the seating inside. She talks about how Blackpool has changed, and how the lanes have gone or been renamed and the old shops have gone. Changes came in the way shopping was done, with the arrival of city centre supermarkets, while the lanes were replaced with new housing. Yet she thinks that Spring Lane has basically remained unchanged; she remembers that there was an orchard behind the lane, which was replaced by Glen Rovers GAA club. She comments on Blackpool Post office, about which there has been a local dispute; she mentions that one site of the post office had been the home of Thomas MacCurtain, Mayor of Cork, who had been shot during the War of Independence. She mentions Madden’s Buildings as being among the oldest social housing in Cork, built in 1885 [1886]. She comments that demolishing Blackpool’s lanes meant removing people and that its community spirit declined as a result; she notes the arrival of immigrants.

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. 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. 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/). 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. 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. 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.

We would have had no need to go out there anyway because we had Goulding’s Glen at our doorstep, so in the Summer we’d be in Goulding’s Glen and you know if it was very warm now you’d go down there and swim. And they had loughs kind of built off, blocked off so that it would be deeper in areas you know. What it was actually was the Glen river that ran through Goulding’s Glen and actually ran down all Blackpool behind the houses in Spring Lane and down behind the houses in Thomas Davis Street. We would have played there as well and we called that place the High Bank. That ran now right behind the houses in Thomas Davis Street. The laneways, now all the laneways are gone. It would have come out then by then by Assumption Convent. I can’t remember the name of the Assumption convent now. It’s the big pink building. But we would have played there as well and em -- but it was channelled in that part. Up further where it ran behind the houses in Spring Lane there was a pig farmer and you could play -- you know, we could paddle away there in the water there but at certain times then you couldn’t because he’d kill the pigs. And all the stuff that would come out of the pigs would be left go into the water so you had to be very careful you know, to make sure that, that he wasn’t killing pigs at the time you decided to play in the water. But em I suppose in a sense looking back on it we had great freedom you know because we seemed to have great freedom to play and do stuff you know and we went to the cinema in Blackpool in, in The Lido and we’d go to the baths, Eglantine Baths over by the City Hall. Very rarely would we venture out of our own area you know, so, people now that lived maybe in Farranree and Blackpool itself would have went out to Murphy’s Rock but as I said Goulding’s Glen was just outside our door so we had it all really.

Title A name given to the resource Breda Sheehan: Blackpool, Childhood Games, Slogging for Apples Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Breda (born circa 1950) grew up in Spring Lane, Blackpool. It was an industrial area with Goulding’s fertilizer factory and Ellis’s quarry. She remembers a childhood game of swinging on a rope put up an ESB electricity pole. She remembers a number of colloquial local placenames. She remembers people who called to the house such as the insurance man, with whom they had “penny policies”. Milk was bought from a milkman by filling one’s own jug. The rent man and a rag and bone man also called. Swimming was done in a stream near a piggery; it had to be avoided when pigs were being killed. Shopping was done on a daily basis. She describes her route to school; she had to pass an unpleasant slaughterhouse. Thomas Davis Street was different from what it has become. She remembers getting caught by a security guard "slogging apples" in an orchard. Breda was a researcher for the Cork Folklore Project.

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. 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. 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/). 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. 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. 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.

But Christmas we always got toys. And we always got --I remember one time, as a child, she bringing me into Robert Day’s inside in town, and going around the store with me, and asking me what I would like Santa to bring me. And I remember seeing this three-wheeled tricycle, and I was drawn to that, but then I saw a china tea set. And then I told her I wanted… first I wanted the tricycle, we were halfway down the stairs, and I changed my mind, I wanted the china set. But we always, you know, seemed to have got what we wanted at Christmas. But sure, I regretted the china set, like. Because I wasn’t allowed put any water into the cups or the teapots, in case I’d make a mess. So maybe I used the china set in my make-believe shop. It’s possible I was probably bringing people in and, you know, giving them cups of tea and putting sugar in it and pouring milk into the tea, and stuff like that. But we didn’t seem to get toys at any other time of the year, only Christmas, so what you got at Christmas, really, had to do you for the year. But as I said now we always seemed to have got what we wanted. I remember another time, my sister, I woke up on Christmas morning and there was a pram in the room and a go-car, what we’d call a buggy now today, but it was one of these real strong go-cars. But the go-car was for me, and the pram was for my sister, she was two years younger. And I grabbed the pram, and I wouldn’t leave go. And there was murder on the Christmas morning because none of us wanted this buggy, we wanted the pram, and we had each got a doll as well like, you know. Easter then, she’d always make sure we had Easter eggs on Easter. Era we survived grand.

Title A name given to the resource Breda Sheehan: Halloween Games, Childhood Games, Family Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Breda (born circa 1950) grew up in Spring Lane, Blackpool. As a child she used to play in The Glen, which was then in the countryside. The neighbourhood houses were small, with an outside toilet, so that every Saturday the children were washed in a tin tub and treated for head lice. She talks about the childhood games she and her friends played, dangerous antics like running over railway tracks or playing at deep water tanks. She remembers Christmas time and keeping her eyes shut in case she saw Santa Claus and she might be given nothing. She describes Halloween games and the different elements placed in the barm brack and what they signified, and she says that you were not supposed to go out on All Saint’s Night in case you met a spirit. She talks about the game of Picky (hopscotch), Release, and ‘stones’, and how they were played. As a child, money could be earned selling a bucket of blackberries, or delivering food waste to a pig farmer. She describes her household chores and responsibilities. She used to get ‘messages’ for a neighbour, a woman who never married but who knew the secrets of everybody in the area. This neighbour told her the story of an older woman who married a younger man, whose parents locked him in his bedroom on the wedding day to prevent the union. She comments that she left school at 14, but had to attend a One Day Week school when she began working. She notes that she was both a child and an adult. She comments about praying to Saint Anthony to resolve small life issues. She describes what happened at dances and how boys and girls interacted and dated. She talks about changes to Blackpool over the years. She lists a number of the lanes which were demolished in the 1960s and the occupants housed in Farranree. She comments on how shopping was done, in small amounts, daily; and she explains that milk was bought from a farmer’s churn and taken home in a jug. She talks fondly about her grandmother and her relationship with her. Her grandmother had a hard life: both her parents died when she was young and she and her siblings hid from orphanage officials who had come to collect them; she raised her siblings, Breda tells a story about her grandmother begging her sister for some money, a sister who died many years later leaving a mattress full of money, unclaimed.

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. 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. 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/). 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. 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. 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.

Your gas would go if the money went down, like petrol in your car and you’d have to top it up, put money in and the gas would be on again. But every -- I don’t know how often it would have been, the gas man would come and you’d nearly always, your mother would nearly always get money back. But I don’t think it was the fact that my mother was getting money, I was always fascinated at how quickly the gas men could count the money. I used be foolish and they’d be putting it into the bags, and tying the bags and into their bag then, you know, and then your mother would get a receipt for how much gas was used and what money was over then, she’d get back. And he might only do half the lane. They’d be all ‘the gas man is coming, the gas man will be here’ you know and whoever -- like supposing you lived across the road -- the – the lane from me an he came to me an I maybe got four pound back, but he’d be coming to you tomorrow but you’d have no money. So like you’d – you’d get money from me until he gave you yours tomorrow, do you know. When the gas man came ‘twas like Santa, that they got money back [laugh]. Those kinds of memories really are what you’d have, do you know. 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 Breda St Ledger: Blackpool, Childhood Games, Family Life, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Breda (b. 1949) grew up in Thomas Davis Avenue, in Blackpool. The houses were built new in the 1960s. They lived with a relative who told her and her brother scary stories. She went to the North Presentation Convent school. She talks briefly about the practice of grandmothers’ rearing a child of the family. Her brothers seasoned chestnuts to play conkers. The girls played scraps – making cut out shapes. She says that children were never bored and had lots to do, like picking blackberries, or making a place to swim in; she contrasts them with today’s bored teenagers. Breda talks about some of the memorable characters who lived in her area. She remembers the gas man coming to collect money for their use of gas, but who might repay money, too. Food was bought on a daily basis, and her mother paid for things on a weekly basis, having an account in a number of shops; these included Dunleas, Miss Healy's, Cantys, Dan Lyons, Mary Welsh, Kingston's, O’Leary’s butcher's shop. Clothes were sent from relatives in America. The family was well fed but there was nothing extra.

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

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. 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. 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/). 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. 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. 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.

C O C: Oh brilliant, so, eh, I’m Cliona O’Carroll, I’m with the Northside Folklore Project, and’ eh, so we’ll lash away, and, but first you might tell me your name? B S: Brenda Stillwell C O C: Brenda Stillwell, welcome Brenda. So what, eh, just say, can you say first of all what kind of sparked this memory? B S: Well I was looking at the picture on the wall of Cork city, it was the very view that I had from my first ever flat, and first ever time living away from home, when I came down to Art College. And I was looking at it, the, I was looking at the bottom of Richmond Hill, but on the top story of the house so I was able to see kind of North Cathedral, the Cathedral, the hospital that was there at the time, but it’s a hotel now. But every morning I used to walk into the Art College. I was only seventeen when I came to Cork first, that’s thirty years ago now, and I would walk past where Whitaker’s Hatcheries were, and across the way there was a garage, and every morning this young lad that was working in the garage would come out and ask me, ‘Are you jagging?’ [C O C laughing]. And I had no clue what he was talking about, and I would just smile and keep walking. I’m sure he’d -- well I found out what the word meant, I’m sure he thought I was really stuck up, or very hard to get, or something, [laughter] playing hard to get. But I had no clue what the word meant, and it was all very foreign and strange to me, coming to Cork. And around that little area there was a lot of Irish speaking people. That was em, An Stad cafê and they would, I would hear them speak in Irish. And Inchigeela Dairy is where I’d go and get bread and milk, and I’d hear the customers and em, Mrs. Creedon, who was in the shop with her two Siamese cats, and that’s the first time I’d heard people converse in Irish, em, in their day-to-day living. C O C: Did Inchigeela Dairy have a milk and cake shop as well, do you remember? B S: There was a grocery shop. C O C: Ah, yeah, yeah. B S: And you just went in and got your regular groceries. C O C: And tell me now, for, for the benefit of the, of the younger people listening to this, what does ‘jagging’ mean? B S: Are you dating anyone? C O C: Aah. B S: But it was a couple of years later before I found that out, just by chance, and I was like, Oooh, that’s what he was asking me [laughter]. C O C: Aah, do you have any other kind of first impressions from Cork from when you first arrived? B S: Em, it’s always exciting I think for anyone moving away from home for the first time and realize you actually have to buy your own milk. [C O C laughing] It’s one of the things, because we, I grew up on a farm and it was the first time I ever had to buy milk in my life. And thinking that you’d have loads of money in thirty euros a week, but half of it went in rent, and then you realize, oh actually, I have to buy my food. We walked everywhere, or cycled everywhere, that was, we didn’t even get on the bus, and, em, [Pause: 2 seconds] just how you can survive on so little. And, em, [Pause: 2 seconds] we used to go to a band every night. Sir Henry’s was a big venue at the time, and we used to go to a band every Monday night, The Hot Guitars, and they’re still going, and still playing and I would still go to see them thirty years on. And the lead singer is still as mad as ever, Joe Callahan, and at that time -- he still plays a lot of blues, harmonica and that kind of thing, but he used to dip his harmonica into the pint, into his pint, so, and he would play and it would just be beer spraying everywhere. [C O C laughing] And he was a real larger than life character on stage, but so shy off stage, and he’s still like that, this mad character. So that’s the connection from then, and now as well, that I would still go to see Hot Guitars. C O C: Oh, lovely, oh, thanks very much. Does anything else occur to you before we finish up? B S: That it’s, that Cork has just become my home thirty years on, and I love it dearly. C O C: Oh, lovely, thanks very much.

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. 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. 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/). 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. 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. 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.

She describes the business as her mother’s concern. She talks about the family nature of the business. She feels that Cork Corporation has treated traders like herself and established shops differently. Her mother (née Wilkinson) was good at maths as a child and got a job in a shop called Sweetland. She then worked with her mother selling fruit down the country, door to door. She mentions a childhood game called ‘chainies” (tossing stones).

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 C.O.: Ay, ya. And thinking of your mother, em and life in the caravan, what would be a normal day for her, a kind of a daily routine? B.C.: Em, normal day, get up, more or less the same as any ones normal day. Em, just get up and put ‘em to school and I mean, she could go away for the day then, she’d be away driving. She’d come and visit my grandfather or she’d go and visit the aunts and she’d be back then just before my sister’s arrive back from school, it’s just… it’s not…em, it was much different from being in a house, it was more or less the same thing you just hadn’t got the same space, basically. C.O.: How would people deal with that, the lack of space, would there be…? B.C.: Em, well I…when I got married first I had em, moved into a caravan and, I had two kids before I moved into the house and I found the space of the house unbelievable. I keep… I kept moving things, I kept moving the beds. I’d… for a week there was never things in the same place all the wardrobes were moved, all the beds were moved, cause I wasn’t used to havin’ that kind of space, em…because we were brought … because my children were brought up in the house, at that stage my youngest was Jessica, she’s nine now but, she would be crying if I went into the bathroom because she couldn’t figure out where I was gone. The house was so big for ‘em they couldn’t understand it. Em, but it’s very, very tough in the caravan, I mean, where I lived in a caravan I would em, I’d have to walk to use one of the bathrooms in my aunts house, em, you’d walk down the hill, about a hundred yards, or to get water and you’d have to carry the water up to the caravan and you’d be washing clothes outside. Em, frosty mornings, my husband would have to get up about six to light the fire before the kids got up for school so the caravan would be heated, and I can remember waking up on morning, it was really, really frosty and the curtains were stuck to the insides of the windows, it was that cold, that the win… that the glass had actually frozen, and we’d have to peel the curtains off the inside windows and… But at the same time then you’d have the good side of it which is the freedom of, you open all the windows, you know-mean and completely clean out the caravan in one day, eh, and that’s great, as you have the freedom and if you do want to go somewhere, you have the freedom to hitch up a caravan and just go, whereas with the house, you have to have someone watching the house and you have to have certain things in place, em, but, I mean, that… that side of it is good, but it’s a tough life to live in a caravan, rearing children in a caravan is very, very tough. I mean, I mean, you’d have, in a mobile home you’d have a bedroom and then you’d have to pull out the bunks to make a double bed in the front of the caravan, I mean if you had visitors or anything by seven o’clock you’d have to pull out the bed, so the kids could go to bed and em, and then you’ve no space then because the bed is out. The bed is practically in the kitchen, so if you’re cooking or what ever you’d doin’ anything around the bed it is very tough and… storytime, the kids didn’t have the toys the wanted then either because they hadn’t got the space, like, they couldn’t have their dolls and prams like, because you had nowhere to put them. Stuff like that, so I mean once they moved into the house… their great now, they love it now, I mean I have a nine year old who is a traveller to the bone, she loves being the traveller. Eh, I’ve a twelve year old who just doesn’t want anything to do with it, she’s at the stage where… “don’t be telling the principle that I’m a traveller” and this, and then the nine year old who’ll say to the teacher, she’ll give her a picture of a house and she’ll say “do have any trailer that I can do”. Em, but, the nine year old have said to me now, I’d love to live in a trailer again. You know, she’s about the only one now, the rest of them don’t want, they don’t want that life at all, they think it’s… it’s too tough altogether, and honestly I mean the young fellow have his own room, the girls have their own bedroom and they go into it and watch television or whatever, something they couldn’t do if they were in a caravan, so… 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 Brigid Carmody: Traveling Community, Tradition, Change, Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Traveling Community; Description An account of the resource Brigid is a Traveller. She talks about her childhood within an extended family, and about Traveller heritage and culture. Brigid talks about growing up quickly within an extended family. She describes adult life in a caravan and the difficulties of getting used to living in a house. She talks about life in the group housing scheme for Travellers. She comments with pride on a Traveller wagon that was built from scratch for Cork Capital of Culture.

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

Title A name given to the resource Brother Con Higgins: Christian brothers, Education, Sport Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource Brother Higgins describes his childhood and praises his education at the North Mon school. He later became a teacher at the school, and he comments on education and on religious life. Brother Higgins (born circa 1956) grew up in Madden’s Buildings, Blackpool. He comments that hurling rather than Gaelic football was the game played on the Northside, and tells a story about being fined in court aged 7 for playing it in the street. He gives some details about his Communion and Confirmation. He talks about the North Mon, about the sport played there and about the teaching of subjects through Irish. Generally, there was a pride in Irish culture and the achievement of the Republic. He talks about the Irish language as a language, its richness and difficulties associated with using it. Returning to the subject of the North Mon, he praises the standard of education he got there. Afterwards he went to a teacher training college, where he was again taught through Irish. He comments on the role of educationalists such as Edmund Rice and Nano Nagle, and he dates the establishment of the North Mon to 1816. He lists some past pupils who have become well-known actors and he comments that the school put on pageants during the 1930s and 1940s. He describes the process of his training as a teacher and a Christian Brother, and he finishes with some comments about religious vocations and the importance of religion in 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.

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

Title A name given to the resource LGBT Collection Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) collection was launched and created in August 2014 by Stephen Dee and Dermot Casey, researchers at the Cork Folklore Project. The Project was established to record and preserve stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County, with a focus prior to decriminalization in 1993 but also to document the important achievements and struggles that contributed to a society that today is far more accepting of LGBT people. This is proven today with the legalisation of same sex marriage through popular vote and the increased visibility of LGBT people in all areas of public life. The collection’s aims are to explore three main aspects: ‘Personal Recollections’ including but not limited to identity, coming out and experiences of homophobia; ‘Community Stories’ based on certain areas, streets, and forms of social interaction within the LGBT community; and ‘Political Movements’, chronicling political events, motivations and outcomes such as the creation of the Cork-based Irish Gay Rights Movement in 1976, Cork Gay Collective in 1980, and UCC Gay Soc in 1980. Each interview we conducted was unique with each interviewee covering some or all of these topics and with some areas being explored in depth. We hope the material can complement LGBT research in Ireland and also stimulate further interest amongst the public in LGBT history. To date we have distributed some of this material to the public with an audio visual presentation on YouTube and in 2016 in conjunction with Cork City Partnership for LGBT Awareness week we produced a public exhibition of our sound excerpts at Cork City Library. Special thanks to all our interviewees and also to Alvina Cassidy whose research also features in this collection.

CK John Roche, now I am not sure, how you know the usual thing but he is dead, I am not sure about his family they, the problem when people die, like the same with Flynn, Foley, Flynn and can’t remember his first name, Flynn in Fairview Park, when he was beaten to death his family objected to us, saying that he was cruising that he was gay, in fact, what we did is said, well look even if he is not gay, that is exactly the point, that in fact even straight people are risked by homophobia and battering. SD Yeah. CK But John Roche was a, you, you know he was a lovely guy he lived in Cork -- SD I was just going to ask did his death help influence you in marching when the Fairview murder. CK Oh absolutely you know because I mean, the other one, is that before the Fairview murder as well there was the Charles Self. And the Charles Self was a designer at RTE, this was in 1981, he was murdered. 1982 was the protest around it, and he was bludgeoned to death, I didn’t see photographs or anything but the description, he was bludgeoned to death in his apartment, he was a well to do designer in RTE, what is presumed is that he brought somebody back and this person went psycho and bludgeoned him to death. Now I suppose I should say that to me this is something I haven’t really talked about before I have, talked to a couple of people personally about it is, in many cases I say to people I have been very lucky, like for instance Lawrence Davis, I hope he doesn’t mind, I am sure he won’t mind me mention it, he is kind of the chair of the LGBT staff network here in UCC, he is from America, but he is living in Dublin and he is commuting up and down but Lawrence and I were talking about violence against gays, because I was saying, we were somewhere yes, we were walking through, and the day of the referendum count, Lawrence was in Cork and we were walking from the count centre to get something to eat, about four or clock in the afternoon, you know the count was coming in, the count centre people were sitting in and cheering, I said to Lawrence this is going on much longer but I am going to need some food, I am going to go out and get some, and he said well I will go with you because we will come back you know, we came back for six o clock news but on the way to get food, we passed by the Gate cinema, and as we were crossing the road, Lawrence said lets go across the road here, and I said why? There were a bunch of young fellas, young teenagers just horsing around, but he felt kind of nervous, I said look, trust me I am from Cork, I know how to handle these guys at this thing but talking about it afterwards I said but I have been lucky really I had never had any violence, I think he said, I have been beaten up twice and it really makes you aware you know, how vulnerable. And I’d had a friend in Dublin and the scene in Dublin and he was a lovely guy, he was a teacher, well he is a teacher, but a lovely guy and he was great outgoing and great fun and, and then I heard he had been beaten up, he had been out cruising in Powerstown [phonetic spelling] Park and he had beaten up and I didn’t see him for about six or nine months and then I met him about yeah twelve months later, and I was talking to him over drink. And he said Cathal my whole life has changed, he said now, said before this happened, I walked around and I didn’t even think about safety, I just assumed I was safe everywhere I went, I didn’t even look around me, I just, now he said, I am terrified of even going to a gay bar without looking around, are there, are there bashers, you know looking for clients there, looking for potential targets, you know because they will follow you out of the bar and then beat you up, he said look I am terrified, my sense of safety, I can’t relax at all, they have destroyed my very living day to day every minute, now Lawrence wasn’t as bad obviously but it was again, if you were beaten up, I said, I was saying to him I haven’t had that experience but then, of course, I ended up saying to him, telling him I think about an experience I did have which was in Cork. I mentioned that Tadgh and Dominic had showed me how to cruise and I said how horrified I was about all this, but I was having difficulty, finding people to have sex with, I have never been, I have always had difficulty with sex in that sense since I was you know. It is, in some people are great they can go into, I have never gone into a sauna, believe it or not, I have gone into a sauna to get money for the Fairview march from people in Dublin but I got it at the counter. I never went, I have never gone into and I lived in Amsterdam and I was just five hundred metres up the way from the night sauna and about seven hundred and fifty metres away from the, the day sauna. People used to say, but why haven’t you? I said, friends of mine used to go, go in but I never, I just somehow it is not my kind, I need to see people, I need to be able to relate to them. I, I need, I am probably still Catholic enough for me to believe, even though I have one night stands, I always said I never have one night stands, I always had a potential relationship until the following morning, they said goodbye, or I said goodbye. So that is the kind of mentality, but there I was in Cork, I was not settled into Cork, I was nineteen, I was living in Sundays Well with my own apartment. So I had my own place, so now I should have been just having sex every night, I should have had a live-in lover, but I certainly should have, I had my own space it was not a problem by not having a bed to go to, not having privacy but I still wasn’t getting the sex. People seem to be shying away from me or I was alienating people, blah blah, I hadn’t met, it was about the time I met David maybe, but the thing is that, I was, and used, I used to get, in those days you got paid in cash, and you got paid a week, once a, on a Friday, and you got, and your money was put in a little brown envelope and they gave it to you, you went down collected it so a Friday afternoon I collected my money, and I was just feeling, I went in, I, I decided to go straight into town. I had lunch at work, because that was kind of thing, I went straight into town went into the bar or whatever, I went into a bar had a few drinks, had a few more drinks, went to, it was probably Le Chateaux I think at the time, or possibly the Imperial or maybe both because there was a kind of, kind of a trail that you could do as well, you know the way gay people, you want to, one bar would be just so boring, it would be much more fun, particularly for the kind of cruisiness. You would move to, and the pub closed, and I was very drunk and I had my brown envelope in my pocket and I walked up, I remember, it must have been the imperial, I walked up North Main street, and there is, when you cross the North Gate Bridge, just at the end of Shandon street, there was a little, tiny little loo, there, which was open air, and was just like literally, two, if you can imagine two concrete walls and there was a kind of entrance way on one side and then there was a piss, wall, and basically just you could just piss there, and the water, and it is just flowed directly into the river, because it was just on the side of the river, so it is like if you know where the taxi company has a little hut there at the end of Shandon street on the quay just directly across from that, so I went and I decided and that was a cruising area a big cruising area as well believe it or not even though it could only fit like two or three people but there, what you need, the way it works. So I went in there [pause] and I came out and there was nobody in there and I so I pissed and I came out and thought right that is the end of it now I said, I am going to walk up home to Sunday’s Well up along the Quay, and as I was walking up along the Quay, I realised I thought there was somebody following me and looked around and there was gorgeous guy, tight clothes, looking like he could be a sailor or something, I thought, and he over took me as I was climbing the hill of Sundays Well and we got talking and he was on for sex, so we went back into my bedsit, and the next thing I remember, I was very drunk so the next thing I remember is that my coat, my coat was on the hook of the back of the door, I was naked, lying naked on the bed and it was just a single bed, and he was half clothed his top was off but not his trousers and he was sitting on me, and I remember him just sort of [pause] pinning my arms down, and saying so you like it rough, and I was saying maybe yeah please. And then he was slapping my face and he was suddenly, suddenly all I remembered is him saying, something about money and of course, I was such a person, I got so insulted with the idea, that there was going to be money involved with this, and then I got frightened. So I was robbed, and I just, so then I got scared, and I remember just saying just take the money, it is in the inside pocket of the jacket or whatever so he took my money and disappeared with all my money for that week, and of course in those days, I lived on a week to week to basis, a bit like Eastenders, you know you only have the money that you earn that week. And I think so, I had to go to Eddie, he was the only person I told about this. I couldn’t tell my parents they would have been horrified and Eddie lent me enough money to get through the week. And I never really told many people but deep down it obviously, when I say I have never been beaten up since. One of the things and that is why I was saying about the back of the bus and being visible, is that [pause] you can have a self-selected, you know, kind of, you control your space, so you never go to spaces where you are likely to be in danger, and so I yes, I would feel that maybe that even though I have covered it up, now that I am looking back, I would say what I learned from that thing, was that I was never going to put myself in that position as possible. And that when I have gone into positions, like when living in Amsterdam, I had an American friend visiting as well from New York but he was a good friend, but he we were walking along the quays one night coming from a bar, a beautiful night, and suddenly he got very edgy, there were two black guys coming for us, and I spoke fluent Dutch at this stage, and there was no thing, of racial, you didn’t have racism in Amsterdam you know it was quiet but he got, very and he had been beaten up in New York and it was, he had that New York kind of distrust of people who were black, in America, kind of deep down, and he is you know, unaware of, he went I said look trust me this is my space, I know it just, but he didn’t we were walking past, and one of the guys could see something going you know could feel it. And just he started shouting what is going on over there, ye don’t like this or something or what and my friend ran, and then I was left there, they came over to me, and so I was talking Dutch to them and persuading them and trying got out of it by talking so I think yeah I mean I feel very strongly that if you know, if you talk about that is why when you look at the Fairview march as I said, this guy has just done his thesis on, on gays against imperialism and that all whole gay collective thing. And he makes a comment and I have just read it, and he makes a comment in it that you know, that we the documentation, and the Archive shows because I would have forgotten some of it so, we deliberately we made a very specific thing, that we were not conservatives saying hang them high, give them harder sentences lock them away for life. We turned the Fairview march in on, and the front banner said stop violence against gay’s and women, and we need to. Nobody should ever feel threatened whether they are because of race of because of the way they look because of who they love or because of their gender 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 LGBT Collection Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) collection was launched and created in August 2014 by Stephen Dee and Dermot Casey, researchers at the Cork Folklore Project. The Project was established to record and preserve stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County, with a focus prior to decriminalization in 1993 but also to document the important achievements and struggles that contributed to a society that today is far more accepting of LGBT people. This is proven today with the legalisation of same sex marriage through popular vote and the increased visibility of LGBT people in all areas of public life. The collection’s aims are to explore three main aspects: ‘Personal Recollections’ including but not limited to identity, coming out and experiences of homophobia; ‘Community Stories’ based on certain areas, streets, and forms of social interaction within the LGBT community; and ‘Political Movements’, chronicling political events, motivations and outcomes such as the creation of the Cork-based Irish Gay Rights Movement in 1976, Cork Gay Collective in 1980, and UCC Gay Soc in 1980. Each interview we conducted was unique with each interviewee covering some or all of these topics and with some areas being explored in depth. We hope the material can complement LGBT research in Ireland and also stimulate further interest amongst the public in LGBT history. To date we have distributed some of this material to the public with an audio visual presentation on YouTube and in 2016 in conjunction with Cork City Partnership for LGBT Awareness week we produced a public exhibition of our sound excerpts at Cork City Library. Special thanks to all our interviewees and also to Alvina Cassidy whose research also features in this collection.

CB Without even realising it, yeah, on of, you’ve just reminded me but apologies my pet fly Freddy has come back (laughter), when we had our ceremony our neighbours they used to be ourselves and our other neighbours up the road, we were the only ones here just until recently and we just got to know them, we never said anything and then we were having our ceremony and we invited them and I never forget the wife, she is a lovely lady, Joan and she turned around and she said you know what she said delighted to be invited but I’ve also never been to one of these before and I just wanted to see what way it would turn out and even at the ceremony one of my cousins turned around, I’ll never forget she was walking by me, the language, it wasn’t bad language she said feck sake this is better than my own wedding, heterosexual couple, so we are making probably slight changes as you say but we still get a few little knocks. There is a crèche here in Mallow that we used to have our son in, we took him out for health reasons for him and the owner turned around and when we were speaking to her she said well we did make allowances for your family unity. Now when she said it at the time I was, okay fine, we are doing the right thing by taking him out of here and putting him in another place and not a bother, I think we’re, myself and Tracy the ones who are more conscious of peoples reaction, do they think I have lied to them, you know because I haven’t said we are a couple but yeah making small little changes, I wouldn’t be surprised when Sean starts school that there might be another same-sex couple who might be putting their child in cause I remember ringing up. I rang up last year to put Sean's name on the list and the lady turned around and said you are not living in Dublin dear you can ring next year and put his name on the list whereas in Dublin when the baby is in the womb you have to put the child's name on the list to get them into the school but this is Mallow I think you could probably put the child's name down a couple of weeks beforehand. So I just said to her also look I was looking to see if we could meet the principle. I said em, Sean he has two mothers, I’m assuming I probably shouldn’t but that it was an old dear because there was a bit of stuttering and coughing and pick yourself up off the floor kind of thing, no problem whatsoever whenever you want to make an appointment that’s fine my dear, yeah, you just ring back whenever you are ready and I rang back and it was the same lady, and I said I am looking to make an appointment with the principle to come in just to explain about Sean and that he has two mothers. Oh, I was speaking to you before, come in whenever you want, there is no problem, come in whenever just call in. We haven’t gone in, no need, we think if we go in it will kind of make it a bigger thing. He is going to be bullied, he is going to be bullied anyway everyone gets picked on for something, in my eyes, kids are pass remarkable unless the parents are behind to give them a clip around the ear but eh yeah probably making small changes without even realising it, yeah.

Title A name given to the resource LGBT Collection Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) collection was launched and created in August 2014 by Stephen Dee and Dermot Casey, researchers at the Cork Folklore Project. The Project was established to record and preserve stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County, with a focus prior to decriminalization in 1993 but also to document the important achievements and struggles that contributed to a society that today is far more accepting of LGBT people. This is proven today with the legalisation of same sex marriage through popular vote and the increased visibility of LGBT people in all areas of public life. The collection’s aims are to explore three main aspects: ‘Personal Recollections’ including but not limited to identity, coming out and experiences of homophobia; ‘Community Stories’ based on certain areas, streets, and forms of social interaction within the LGBT community; and ‘Political Movements’, chronicling political events, motivations and outcomes such as the creation of the Cork-based Irish Gay Rights Movement in 1976, Cork Gay Collective in 1980, and UCC Gay Soc in 1980. Each interview we conducted was unique with each interviewee covering some or all of these topics and with some areas being explored in depth. We hope the material can complement LGBT research in Ireland and also stimulate further interest amongst the public in LGBT history. To date we have distributed some of this material to the public with an audio visual presentation on YouTube and in 2016 in conjunction with Cork City Partnership for LGBT Awareness week we produced a public exhibition of our sound excerpts at Cork City Library. Special thanks to all our interviewees and also to Alvina Cassidy whose research also features in this collection. This LGBT collection of interviews is stored within the Cork Folklore Project permanent oral history archive run in conjunction with UCC’s Folklore and Ethnology Department and Northside Community Enterprises, with both a physical and digital presence. As with all our material, access to full interviews is supervised through a variety of permissions and forms.

CD No I think of a general realisation, I suppose because I am a very private kind of a person, I don’t think I am came dashing out through the snow, or like running out from the back of the bushes or anything like that, I just kept it to myself, and I you know, it wasn’t until later years that I was when I was with my current partner, I told my mum, and I told my family and you know, so I don’t think it was a big coming out event, it wasn’t that big of a deal, I told her, I expected she wasn’t going to be very happy about it but she actually, she was very happy about it, she didn’t mind, you know, I had the bags packed at the door, but you know. And I think it is good in my mind, it was kind of easier, because I was gay with somebody else, that you know because sometimes, I find that in that thing, I think I over thought it for so long, like I was twenty-six about the time I told my mother, it was kind of like all the time thinking, oh Jesus what is she, what will happen if this, if, if , if, if all the ifs and buts were going through my head, and finally I said, look I will do, but I think being with somebody else helped me, you know, and I know now that annoys people when I say that, that you have to be in a relationship to come out, I don’t think that at all, for me it was an easier path to take. SD Okay. DC And did your parents, did your mother have any suspicions, when you were a teenager? CD She asked me before and I looked not at all, that is nonsense you know, but I think, I think that is because I didn’t realise myself, you know, I was kind of fighting with it myself, because in school, you know there was a few bullies and things and they used to call me gay, and I used always be trying to know I am not. I am not different at all I had girlfriends and blah blah blah, you know but I so, she did ask, and she kind of ‘oh well I always knew that’ and that kind of annoyed me even more, because you see, what was it about me that you thought like, how dare you, you know, and I am going through the series of having to be in front of the person when I came out so I have to sit in front of the person to see the reaction, and if their eyes were a bit skewed or if they looked down or looked up, then, oh that person, they are okay with it so I can’t be talking to them but my mother went on a spree of telling everyone, when I told her she just, I think she got up on top of the, the truck at the back of the house and just told everyone, so Clive is gay, Clive is gay, Clive is gay, Clive and I hated that because I wanted to see the reaction you know of people, but I think one of the sadder things about being gay, is that you have to, you are constantly telling people, it is not just when I was twenty one or eighteen or when you are meeting new people, [phone rings in the background] constantly your, your telling people, and you know that is very, you know it is hard, you know that you are always having to tell people about your, you know, about your sexuality.
