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.

If you wish to access further archival material for this interview or other interviews please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com CO’C: And going back to being a messenger boy what would your daily routine have been? LO’H: Well, the daily routine, you could end up doing anything because, especially with Musgrave’s because Musgrave’s, they had eh a tea, they were tea manufacturers, well they used import the tea, you know and they’d pack it in their own little packages and all this business. And they also had a sweet factory in em, they owned the Metropole Hotel in MacCurtain Street and they also had a sweet factory in Patrick’s Quay so you could end up, you know, now we used deliver stuff to the Old Bridge Restaurant and to the Savoy where they had a café. But as I said you had to go up the back steps, I forget how many steps was there now and there was always something to be done with regards to taking, delivering tea, delivering sugar to the little shops around the town you know like Woodford Bourne’s now and places like that. CO’C: Were there ever any kind of runs that you didn’t like getting? LO’H: Well the Savoy was one of ‘em because you’d have two or three hundredweight bags of sugar and they had to go up all the steps that was one we tried to avoid like the plaque but looking back on it, I suppose ‘twas no bother to us really you know. I mean I couldn’t walk up there now with a packet of fags in me pocket not to mind say a hundredweight bag of sugar. But em ‘twas all very exciting and I really, I loved it. I’ll be honest with you and I’ll always remember, now I lived in the Marsh as I say and believe it or not, we had nothing but we had everything. Whereas today they have everything and they have nothing. But em with regard to novelties now, none of us had a bike so the messenger boy’s bike was a great, a great novelty really. But the first time was something that fascinated me and it stuck in my mind ‘twas my first time seeing a round packet of cheese, you know Three Counties cheese and they were in triangular shapes and they all fitted into the box perfectly like and that fascinated me as a child. The idea that they could fit them in so because the only cheese, I can remember was there was a shop in Adelaide Street, we used still say today that ‘twas the first all-night shop in Cork. Dermot’s shop. Dermot O’Riordan was his name and he used be working all night and you could get, ‘twas only a small shop but he had everything, well everything that time was very little compared [laughs] to today. But I can remember going down to Dermot’s for a quarter of cheese, a quarter of cheese now imagine that and he used put a bit of greaseproof paper over the knife and he’d cut the slices and it used come in a square em timber box. And you’d always ask him if he came to the end of the cheese, you’d always ask him for the box for the fire at home. You know so. CO’C: Yeah. LO’H: And tea chests. Tea chests in Musgrave’s were another great thing. Now, I can remember working in the E.S.B after, and the older fellows were telling me that as children they were reared in, in tea chests. You know that their mothers would put a little blanket in and put the tea chest on its side and put the child into the tea chest. So I could believe it, you know, now I never actually saw it but there are people down the other road, their all dead now, Lord have mercy on them but they used be telling me little stories now like that when I used be telling them about Musgrave’s; they say I can remember a tea chest at home and the baby used be put into the tea chest or, or they were hold for, they were used for holding blankets and things like that at home. But you’d hardly see a tea chest at all now. And the tea would come from wherever ‘twould come from but they went into Musgrave bags, you know they mightn’t be Musgrave bags at all because I worked in the National Flour Mills after, and there was just a big vat of flour, a big, a vat I suppose you call it and all the local Levis’ and other places, Musgraves for instance now like that, that would be selling flour, they’d all send down their packets and all the flour was put into the different packets, you know like you’d think you’d be getting Musgraves chick flour or Levis’ flour but all the flour was the same if you know what I mean. So they were my memories now of the messenger boys long go, and there was great camaraderie with the messenger boys, you know if you were seen out in the bike without rain gear they’d want to know why you didn’t get raingear and they were just starting to get organised that time which was great because I suppose prior to that do you know ‘twas very hard work I was going up in a bike a cold frosty morning and probably some of them we hadn’t the footwear that they have today. There wasn’t water boots and things like that. Today, but ‘twas great and there used be some fierce stories like about the half pound of sausages now we’ll say up to Montenotte. Montenotte was a famous place for, that everyone now I never had to go to Montenotte from Musgrave’s because they had vans as well you know for the outskirts of the city and em they’d, they’d go as far as Carrigaline now which was a small little place at the time and Ballygarvan, going to the shops. They were wholesalers and they had em, actually I think ‘twas Stuart Musgrave was his name as I say, they were great, they were great employers, they lived in Magazine Road, I think its where the Hayfield Manor is now, I think that was Musgrave’s House one time. And I can remember being sent up, they had their own gardener, Mr Cocoran I think was his name, Mr Coughlan, Mr Coughlan, and you’d be sent up to Mr Coughlan and he’d be giving you stuff out of the garden you know to take now parsnip now or a few onions to take home with you, ‘tis, they were great little, they were great memories. CO’C: With the messenger boys, what kind of age would most of them have been? LO’H: Well, I was only fourteen. I was just out of school, ‘twas my first job. And em that was the norm for, at that particular time, you know the secondary education didn’t come into it only for, you know there was a few people, I mean there was a few people living near me now, we all went to, not all of us, some of us went to St Joseph’s School in the Mardyke, others went to Peter and Paul’s, St Francis but then you had a few well to do families I suppose that had businesses and their kids went to Pres in the Mardyke, you know. But em I remember going to the one day week, you had and I remember, I remember the boss, my boss in Musgrave’s, Mr Locke was his name, he is a very nice man, and he could never understand that he had to let me off work for one day to go to the one day week. CO’C: Can you explain for us what the one day week is? LO’H: The one day week was to em, ‘twas supposed to further your education which to a certain extent it did, I mean I went to the one day week and I saw tools there like em hacksaws and vices and em well loads of little chisels for doing the timber work, you know. Things that I had never seen before and would never have seen ‘em I’d say only for going to the one day week. Now I never made a hand of using them but at least I saw ‘em and when people were talking about them, I knew what they were talking about. But there were some lads that were, that was their forte. They loved it. And some of them became carpenters and things after because they saw this thing when they were in the one day week. And you know they had grand little things like painting now and mechanics and things and motor cars. Now there were very few motor cars that time but they were the upcoming thing like you know. CO’C: And what age did people go to the one day a week until? LO’H: You went from, was it from fourteen to sixteen. You had to go one day a week. It was compulsory. And believe it or not, the first one day a week that I went to was up in Wellington Road just above where 96fm are now. Just above that. That was the first place I went to and while I was there it closed down and we were sent down to George’s Quay and we were there for a while and that closed down and we were sent to Parnell Place. I can’t think of the name, there was a paint shop there, I can’t think of the name now just beside where the, where, well ‘tis Crosbie own it now, that big massive building there at the, beside the South Mall and Parnell Place, ‘twas just down beyond that, that’s where I ended up and the group that were with me, they were the same like and we used all, we used keep saying that everywhere we went we closed it down. [laughs] Three one day weeks like. But I don’t know when, they done away with it then, I suppose then young fellows started going to secondary school and everything. So things became more advanced and they done away with the one day week. But people laugh about the one day week, I found it a great asset to me, I’ll be honest with you now as I say I found out about tools and things that I would never have known about. CO’C: So listen thanks for coming in. We won’ t keep you all day this time because we’d love to do another interview with you. LO’H: No problem. CO’C: Later. To redo, retake the interview. LO’H: No problem at all. CO’C; The previous one. But I will ask you a couple of questions that we’re asking most people. Do you remember anything to do with apples? LO’H: Slocking apples. I do. Slocking, I mean every child at that time slocked apples and we all had our own planks as we call, you ask a young fellow today what’s a plank and he’ll tell you ‘tis a bit of timber. But a plank to us was a place where you, ‘twas a secret place, mostly where you hid something like where we went smoking first and when I say went smoking first, I’m talking about twelve years of age and I can remember as plain as anything there’d be a group of us outside the Courthouse on the steps waiting for people to go in to the Courthouse to throw away the butts before they went in. And we’d be like flies around the jam jar diving down for the butt and we’d all have a smoke off the butts. And there’d be lipstick on it and everything but it never bothered us and we’re and I’m still here to telling the tale right. And em but we had planks then for where we went slocking now there was two particular ones that still come to mind; there was one up the Mardyke, I’m trying to think of the name now ‘twas just, Piper’s Merries used be just above it and there was a little, there was a stream up the side of the Mardyke, the Mardyke stream and then there was a bridge going into the, there was a shop there you know and in at the back of the shop there was an orchard. So you’d go into where Piper’s had the Merries and you came down around the back and you slocked the apples. Now you had a jumper which you would tuck down inside your pants and you shoved all the apples inside the jumper. That was one plank as we’ll say and there was another one up in Farralley Road. There’s all houses there now and there was a couple of houses up there, big houses and there was about three orchards up there. So that was another place where we used to slock the apples and then down from that where we used play our Cowboys and Indians as you go up Orchard Road, there was a, Jennings had a big house there. Jennings, now they had a big, I suppose they were the same Jennings actually they used make lemonade and all that business in Brown Street and I think they had a furniture store, well Jennings was the name of the furniture store anyway whether, whether they were the one family or not I don’t know, but we knew it as Jennings Wood, plenty of trees there. Yerah, you’d be playing Cowboys and Indians and all that business there. CO’C: Brilliant.

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.

If you wish to access further archival material for this interview or other interviews please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com PS: So I can remember the Coopa. And then, the other side, if you came down the bottom of Chapel Hill, you went left you had the Coopa, but if you went right, down towards - - again I’m calling it Church Avenue - - but heading down towards Eason’s Hill, there were two or three houses, knocked down. What did we call - - we had a name for those houses now that were hauled down - - we’d the Coopa on one side - - I can’t - - it’ll come to me now in a minute. We used to play in there anyway, they were kind of half knocked down houses, and they’re gone since, they have an old, bit of a park laid out there now. But the name will come back to me after Geraldine, honest. But that’s another place we used to play in. GH: Yes, and where there any people, characters that you remember from around the neighbourhood? PS: Oh Geraldine, the place was full of characters. As a child, I can remember ‘the Rancher’. The Rancher, the rancher. I remember the day the Rancher got married, I was only a young fella. The Rancher got married. The Rancher used to chopsticks now, over by Shandon now, right? But what I remember about it - - ‘twas grand now they got married in the North Chapel, and what I heard afterwards, and it didn’t make sense to me as a child, but it made sense afterwards - - when they got married, they came out and he said em, ‘we’ll go to the Small Steeple now, for our celebration.’ ‘Oh no,’ she said, ‘I’m going to Jack Ford’s or I’m going to Jack Rum’s.’ ‘No’ he said, ‘we’ll go to the - - we’ll go to the Small Steeple.’ ‘No, we’ll go to Jack - -‘ ‘You go to Jack Fords and I’m going to the Small Steeple.’ And he went one way, and she went the other, and they had their wedding party there. Happy out like that. Em, I remember em, who do I remember? The fella with the snotty nose, who was that again? Always wiped his nose, was that Holy Joe was it or was it - - GH: I don’t know now - - PS: Could be Holy Joe, always wiped his nose, but very good, you know, very kind to children and everything. Who else was there now? Do you know who was there then - - and he’s dead since, so I have to be careful - - would be em, eh - - he used to play cards, he used to kick the coin up in the air, kick it up into his top pocket. Em, what was his name again? Ah for God’s sake, Pat O’Brien would know him now, well. Not Tony, Tony Hennessy was kind of a character growing up, but he was Mr Soccer, and his mother was a great person. Who was the fella who used to kick the coin? O’Leary, Dony Leary. Dony, I’d say Dony O’Leary. Mad Dony we knew him as. Mad Dony, he used to be there. Who else? And birds. Everybody had a bird. My father used to keep birds. [It’s] a bit awful now, he used to trap birds, we’ll say canaries - - not canaries - - goldfinches and linnets and then he’d breed them and he’d get a mule. So a lot of houses would have a birdcage outside their window as well. That just came to me there now. And they used to have birds. GH: Would many people go drag hunting in the area? PS: Now I never went. I wouldn’t be ashamed to say I never went drag hunting, but right behind our house was a place called Barrack View and there, there was a man - - a character - - called O’Callaghan. Now his sons still do it, but they were actually related - - his wife was Bridie Lordan. Funny thing about that area when it comes to me - - and I know I was only talking to someone about it the other night about it - - all the women that got married, retained their maiden names. Cause my mother would be known as Hannah Clifford, right? Mrs Welsh, Bridie Lordan em, Annie - - Annie, Annie, she was - - all the women were known by their maiden names. Funny they held on to it. Esther Lordan. They never took their married names, which is kind of something good in a way as well. But coming back to that again. Bridie, Mrs Doyle married - - right? - - O’Callaghan. Now this Mrs Doyle would be a daughter or a grand-daughter of Connie Doyle of the famous armoured car, right? So - - and then, this fella O’Callaghan used to keep hounds there. There’s still hounds there today, his son still has the hounds for the drags now. And these were small houses now, tiny houses like. And they used to keep big families and big dogs. GH: It’s fascinating Pat, and I think that our own Cork City, like, and on the Northside especially, people loved the opera too, the singing was there, would you know - - PS: Well the other thing, the Opera - - I saw the Opera House catch fire, I was only a child. I saw the Opera House go up in flames, I was only allowed go down to as far as Mulgrave Road and look across to it. But the sky was just red, I remember that. I wasn’t conscious - - I’d be conscious of the Opera House myself for the pantomimes, but I don’t remember it much, the pictures were our big thing, we had so many picture houses - - or cinemas - - around Cork. We used to go to the cinema a lot. And I remember my father bringing me to the cinema, but there was one particular shop - - I should’ve thought of it there - - it had a huge influence on me later on in my life. At the very bottom of Shandon Street just before where it joined with Blarney Street, there was a shop at the corner there, and ‘twas ‘Pilo’s’[?], I think ‘twas Pilo’s. ‘Twas a comic shop now people didn’t know what a comic shop was, they’d think it was a sense of humour shop and it wasn’t. ‘Twas where you swap comics like The Beano, The Dandy, The Hotspur, all these things, and you could - - on Friday night, my father would come up. He’d pass up another shop called ‘Nosey Keefes’ [?], Nosy Keefe's was at the bottom, and they used to have the most beautiful broken chocolate, every kind of thing. We’d get a bag of that, and he’d get a few comics for us, and we’d be as happy as Larry. So you’d read the comics, and the next day you’d go down and you’d swap them for some other comics. GH: You got to read everything so. PS: You got to read everything, and there was one type of comic called The Illustrated Book of - - The Illustrated Book of Classics, right? ‘Twas a comic, right? A dear comic, but it dealt with everything from Robin Hood to El Cid to Huckleberry Finn. All the world tales were in it, and I’d say that probably influenced me later on into - - you know, in the story-telling world, that at that age we used to read so much. GH: Yes - - PS: And then they’d comics called - - eh, forty-five pages or forty-six pages was it - - that, they were war pictures, where the Germans couldn’t shoot an elephant if ‘twas ten feet away, and the Brits could shoot at two hundred miles away and still knock the eye out of a fly. You know what I mean? GH: [laughs]. I do. And what was Christmas like, up around your neighbourhood Pat? PS: Christmas was great. Ah, Christmas. I - - to this very day, I celebrate Christmas. I love Christmas with a passion, because - - for nostalgia. For the cooking, the cooking in our house - - ‘cause my mother was a great cook. Like, for our Christmas dinner now, you’d have - - you’d have the turkey stuffed, right? You’d have a couple of stuffings on it, you’d have bread stuffing and you’d have potato stuffing. They did chestnut stuffing now, but we just did potato stuffing and bread stuffing. And I’d help with that, we’d all help with it, right? Then we’d have spiced beef, right? And the ham, the ham used to cause all the confusion, because midnight mass you weren’t allowed to - - you weren’t allowed to eat before going to midnight mass, because if you were going for communion, you couldn’t. So my mam would have the ham boiling, right? And we’d go to midnight mass, and we’d come back and we’d attack it. The other thing - - Christmas, to me would start, right, with sending the letters away to Santy, all that. Now, I dunno how my father and mother did it. There was five of us, and we always got something. We always got something, so I’ve only happy memories of it. Not looking at it through rose-tinted glasses, I honestly think we had lovely Christmases. We had - - my father and mother then, would disappear into town on Christmas Eve to do the shopping, and they’d come back half cut. They’d be kinda nicely - - right? And you’d get a half-crown - - you didn’t know what you’d get, ‘cause if the father - - he didn’t drink that often, but - - I won’t say it didn’t suit him, he was a lovely happy man when he’d drink in him. So they’d be there, we’d head off to midnight mass, they might have a couple more drinks at home, ‘cause they’d be going to mass on Christmas Day, and then we’d tackle the ham. The ham at that stage. So you had ham, spiced beef was a big thing and then you had - - then you’d have - - ‘twas like a banquet. Now, you’d have roast potatoes, croquets - - now when I say croquets, we’d make our own croquets, kinda thing. Then you’d have everything - - and d’you know what we had? We used to have curried rice, this is way back when now. You know, people ignore it, but long ago, my mother’d make a small pot of curried rice. Absolutely gorgeous. Then you’d have - - now, of course, the dinner wouldn‘t start ‘til about three or four, and the smells coming out from the kitchen. You’d be weak with the hunger because you’d be smelling it and ‘twould be - - and there was never a panic, ‘twas three or four, that kinda way. I can’t even talk because my mouth is watering, now. Me tongue is swimming here in me mouth now. GH: [laughs]. PS: But ‘twas always good. Now, but what we had then St Stephens’s Day. We never ate meat? Our family didn’t. ‘Twas - - I think ‘twas a Kerry tradition that my mother brought back with her. That nobody ate meat on St Stephens’s Day, because - - the house was full of meat - - but by abstaining from meat, ‘twas felt that you’d kept bad luck and ill health away from the house for twelve months. Now, whether ‘twas a Pagan thing or a Christian thing, I dunno, but there’s maybe - - I still don’t eat meat on St Stephens’s day. Now I’m not sure about the rest of the family, but I just do it because, you know, the old Irish saying, ‘Na de an nos agus na bris nos’, ‘Don’t make, or don’t break a tradition.’ So, I still wouldn’t eat meat on St Stephens’s Day, but five past twelve on St Stephens’s night, by Jesus you couldn’t get between me and the meat. You’d lose your life if you got between me and the meat.

Title A name given to the resource Pat Speight: Northside, Childhood Games, Schooldays, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Cork Storyteller Pat Speight (b. 1940s) was born near the North Cathedral, known by locals as the North Chapel. His first house in Cork he thinks was a kind of tenement, with three families living in one house; his father later bought out this house. Pat briefly recalls childhood games, bonfire night. He explains how steering carts [‘steernas’] were made. He describes the local shops and their role in the community, and how his mother bought food in different shops and put it on account on a daily basis. Pat also recalls his schooldays. Poorer children got a glass of milk, a bun, and thruppence. He describes his childhood playgrounds, including Bell’s Field (‘Bellsa’). He describes the Coopa (cooperage), where locals threw their rubbish over a wall and down a sheer drop. He tells a funny story about having to climb into the rubbish to look for a lost ring. He remembers that many local women kept their maiden names after marriage. He recalls Christmas dinner and the different food they had to eat, and a tradition of not eating meat on St Stephen’s Day. He remembers comic shops where children could buy and swap comics. He recalls his grandfather catching wild birds. The family used to visit relatives in Kerry, where he saw many aspects of modernisation.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Title A name given to the resource Michael Holland: William Crawford, Crawford Observatory, Eoin O’Mahony Eoin The Pope O’Mahony, Alfred O’Rahilly, William Kirby Sullivan, UCC, University College Cork Subject The topic of the resource Cork's built Heritage Description An account of the resource Michael talks about the Crawford Observatory building, about the instruments it housed, and about the advancement of scientific knowledge. Michael is the curator of University College Cork. The Crawford Observatory was established on the campus in 1880. The astronomical equipment was supplied by the Dublin firm of Grubb. The university’s president, William Kirby Sullivan built links with the city’s business class, and William Crawford paid for the Grubb telescope. The observatory was used to teach students until 1914.He discusses the role of philanthropy in funding projects. He comments on the creation of electricity by the Cork Tramway Company, and how when the company was shut down in 1929 there was a campaign by Alfred O’Rahilly and Eoin The Pope O’Mahony to get compensation for the tram workers. He tells a story about the installation of a seismograph, which had to be moved after it was found that bus traffic nearby was giving false readings. He explains how the site for the observatory was originally chosen. This interview was conducted for the DVD If the Walls Could Talk.

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.

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

And he died I think at the age of forty-nine, a very early age, because he had walked from his home in Ballin-- Ballintemple eh into the college during a rainstorm and he developed pneumonia and he didn’t survive it, so he died very young, at a very young age.

At that time, it was built as a lecture hall, a concert hall and an assembly hall and it was built here on Emmet Place. Em it was designed by Sir John Benson and the building was actually a rebuild of the main exhibition hall at the 1852 National Exhibition in Cork. Em so it was kind of the design I suppose was moved from the National Exhibition and up on to Emmet Place and it was completed in 1855. Now it opened with a series of, actually funny -- funnily enough it unofficially opened with a series of local artists and musicians performing on the stage and em that was in the first number of months.

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.

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

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.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com J.M: OK. Could you elaborate a little bit about your family please? M.O'D: Well it’s a very small family compared to the average Irish family in that it was just basically from the time I was five just myself and my mother and father; em my mother and father wanted to have more kids, but my mother had had heart damage from having rheumatic fever as a child, so she wasn’t supposed to have anymore and they said she shouldn’t even adopt, so the three of us were very close, and fairly unusual kind of relationship – I didn’t call them mother and father – I called them by their names. And we did a lot of things together, and we were all interested in American traditional music, and went to a lot of music festivals together, and had a fairly unusual relationship, at least compared to my friends, it wasn’t the sort of parent and child kind of classic sort of separation, and my parents were very liberal and very open-minded and let me kind of pursue whatever I wanted, in an era when parents were not letting their children you know buy Mad magazine and Hollywood Movie Magazines - it was my little bit of money that I got every week and I could do whatever I wanted with it. J.M: We’ll come back to the subject of traditional music later, but could you tell me what type of events did you celebrate as a family? M.O'D: Well em we were not a religious family, but Christmas of course is always you know is a big thing, em I think my personal favourite holiday was Halloween, the chocolate as much as the dressing up, I’d say and that was an era when everybody went trick or treating, you literally went door to door, and you were meant to have a trick, you were meant to sing a song, or tell a joke or do something, em and that you know other than sort of personal you know people’s birthdays or anniversaries – my parents wedding anniversary or something like that – that was I don’t think, because we weren’t religious, there weren’t all those kind of things, and that was before I knew much about Ireland or anything to do with Irish culture, so Paddy’s Day did not figure, so.

Title A name given to the resource Mary O’Driscoll: America, Blackrock, Customs, Festivals, Fleadh, Fitzgerald’s Park, Immigration, Miltown Malbay, Poverty, Traditional Irish Music, Willie Clancy, Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Cork Description An account of the resource Mary at the time of this recording was the Cork Folklore Project's manager, She was born in Des Moines Iowa, in the United States and moved to Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnesota when she was 8 years old. She had one sister who died when she was 10 years old when Mary was 5. They lived in an old Irish farmstead built by the Faro family from Waterford, which was rural and isolated. Her father was a Lawyer. Mary met her Blarney born husband [Sean] in America. She discusses the family being impoverished because of costly medical bills for her mother and sister. Although they didn’t have much money they had land and they grew their own vegetables and fruit. They were an unconventional family. Her parents were liberal and she had a lot of independence and freedom and called her parents by their names rather than Mom and Dad. They spent a lot of time together going to American traditional music festivals. She recalls Halloween as being her favourite festival when everyone went door to door trick or treating. On the 4th July they went to the park for a fireworks display and had a ‘regatta’ they had on their own ‘Loch Mac’ lake at their house. She and her husband moved to Cork because of the Irish music scene and Ireland’s proximity to the rest of Europe. She talks about how creativity is much more accepted in Ireland as a valid way to live your life. Mary describes her first visit to Cork and how she loved the people and their humour. She comments on the size of Cork and all the old beautiful buildings, laneways and parks. Mary discusses her family’s interest in American traditional music, old time Appalachian and Bluegrass music and how it led to her interest in Irish music. She learned to play the fiddle and ran an Irish radio programme in the United States for 10 years. She describes the standard of traditional music in Ireland being so much better than the United States; comments additionally on the affect of immigration from Ireland to the US on the music scene. People plan their year around going to music festivals in Ireland such as Miltown Malbay, The Willie Clancy Week and the all Ireland Fleadh. Her favourite is the Murphy festival in Wexford.

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.

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.

N.H: Boys and girls, yeah, but you'd be all embarrassed then if your mother saw you being caught by a boy, you know, he'd bring you back to the den, and your mother would be at the door, and you'd be given out to, you'd be caught by the elbow in case you'd run away, and you'd be all embarrassed with the boys being around, em, that would be that game. And getting back to games of the house now, sure like our bedrooms then you'd get cardboard box for the dolls, we nearly all had a doll, and we'd get a toy for Christmas, so like during the Summer the doll would be broken, we'd make a paper doll, with newspaper, I often made a doll, a foot long with newspaper, and if you got brown paper it was a great novelty, because you could draw a face with the brown paper, whereas with the newspaper you could not make a face, you draw a face on the doll, and then there was a woman living near us who was a dress maker, and we’d knock at her, and we used to have her scourged, for old rags and bits of trimmings off off the things that she’d have, and you’d make clothes for the doll, then: scarves for the dolls, and we’d dress her up, and cardboard box then, and if you got enough stuff then you could make a little pillow and a little cover for it, and you’d be there for all hours of the morning, playing away, for all the kids in the area like, that was some of the games, and then you had the usual games I suppose, you’d have the game of picky, where you’d be, someone would get chalk then, and we used to get ropes and the street poles in the street, and you’d put them up the pole, you’d tie it, but like someone would like say there’s a man here along, and you’d say hey sir, lift up the rope for me please (the usual old slang) and the man would kind of sling it up, and he’d get up real high like and he’d pull it high tight in a noose, and then you’d have for hours, then like one would be on one side of the street, and the other side, you might have to stop maybe every hour and a half because a car would pass, that’s how little cars were on the road like, and eh, that would be kind of summery games, then and winter games then I suppose skipping, or release, jumping the steps, where we were living there were steps like; once I jumped the whole ten steps. . . F.Q: Gee! N.H: The whole ten together where I was living now there was, you’d go down the lane, there was one step and then there was a gap and then there was our house and there was four steps, (everybody could jump down the four steps and up the four steps, run and jump the whole four steps together) but meself and another fella in the area we jumped the whole ten steps together, from one top to the bottom, only two of us was able to do it!

Title A name given to the resource Noreen Hanover: Christmas, Childhood Games, Cinema, Ghost stories, Milk and Cake Shops, Pawnbrokers, St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Working life, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Cork: Description An account of the resource Noreen grew up during the 1950s in Nicholas Church Place, off Cove Street. She says the house was a tenement house shared with a family who lived upstairs. She went to the South Presentation Convent School. Her father died when she was 10. She left school at 14 and worked for 11 years at the Cork Shoe Company until she got married. She remembers some of the shops in the area of Nicholas Street and Barrack Street. In one of them, a short-sighted old lady kept her money on the counter and used to have money stolen. There were a milk and cake shop, Ciste Milis. She talks in detail about the games she played as a child, including playing house. Girls could make dolls out of the newspaper; they would get remnants of material to clothe them. They also tied ropes high on street poles and swung on them. Indoors, they collected cuttings from newspapers and books and made scrapbooks. An outside ball game had a simple chant, which she quotes. Christmas presents were often modest, but the excitement was high. Her mother used to tell ghost stories to the local children, and Noreen remembers a story about a dead girl’s golden leg and a telling of the Babes in the Wood story. She and her siblings were washed in a big tub in front of the fire, while her mother cooked bacon and pigs’ feet (crubeens). She recalls the use of the pawn shops and her being afraid to be seen coming out of a pawnshop by her schoolmates. She talks about local character Andy Gaw. She remembers using the outside and indoor public baths, with swimming wear that was just regular underclothes, and running home by St Fin Barre’s cathedral, afraid of two stone angels whose trumpeting was said to herald the end of the world. She recalls the Polo [Polar] Ice Cream Company, and the huge ice cream wafers she could buy. In the Summer the family would go to Crosshaven or Youghal for inexpensive holidays. Personal entertainment could be had to pick blackberries, going picnicking with jam sandwiches, or going to the cinema. She tells how the pennies to go to the cinema were found by sweeping the floor or looking under a rock. After her father died, her mother went to work for a Jewish family, the Rosses. She describes her mother’s working life and way of raising the family. She lists the different meals eaten during the week. She remembers her grandmother visiting and singing Hey Diddle Diddle. At family gatherings, people would sing Alice Benbow [Sweet Alice Benbow, a.k.a Alice Benbolt] and other songs, of which she remembers the odd line. Her older sister would go to the cinema and then tell the other children in the family the stories of the films she had seen. She talks about moving to Ballyvolane after she got married, the community there and how Cork city has changed. She mentions going on holidays to Galway; sending the baggage up by train and hitching lifts up there. She used to go to dances in Cork and walk home safely early in the morning.

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.

Title A name given to the resource Marie-Annick Desplanques: Brittany, Breton, Coiffe, Crêperie, Foodways, France, Children's Games. Subject The topic of the resource Life History Description An account of the resource Marie-Annick Desplanques grew up in Brittany, west France. She moved about frequently as a child because her father worked on the railways. She discusses food, games, Christmas in France as well as moving to Ireland from Newfoundland and the development of Cork City between 1988 and 2004. Marie-Annick Desplanques spent her early childhood in Brittany, west France. She has three younger brothers, two of whom emigrated to England and Canada. Her father worked on the railways and she lived with her grandparents until she was five or six years old. After this, she moved around with her parents frequently: she mentions that she may have attended as many as twenty schools. Her earliest memory is of going with her grandmother to the ‘Lavoir’, in the local village to wash clothes, as well as going to the beach. She recounts various children’s games such as rolling tyres, a kind of skipping elastic game, and marbles. She remembers older women in Brittany that dressed in black and wore a ‘coiffe’, a traditional headdress that gave them difficulty getting in and out of cars. Her grandmother ran a shop that also kept wine under the table for customers who wished to stop in and chat. She recalls her grandfather telling stories as well as catching what he called ‘Japanese Chickens’ by putting glue on trees. The family diet would have been mainly fish, potatoes, and chicken. The village in which she lived would have been quite poor and Marie-Annick recalls getting an orange for Christmas as well as a wooden train made by her father. When asked about moving to Ireland, Marie-Annick discusses the close connection between Breton villages and Ireland. She discusses moving from Newfoundland, where she met her Irish husband, to Cork in 1988 and relates that her arrival in Cork was delayed by twenty-four hours because she was searched at Heathrow Airport due to her husband having a similar name to someone serving in Portlaoise prison. She mentions getting lost in Cork after her arrival, as well. Marie-Annick then observes that it was easy to make friends due to the fact that both she and her husband are musicians. She also discusses meeting with French people in Cork and makes mention of the creperie in French Church Street as well as Isabelle Sheridan’s stall in the English Market. She remarks on the growing ease of getting certain food ingredients as the city develops but relates some disappointment at the way the smaller community areas of the city are being built over in favour of bigger spaces.
