Bandon, County Cork

Catherine FitzMaurice

a social history of North Main Street and Kilbrogan Hill

"A social history of a street which was occupied for over 250 years by a predominantly protestant population of English settlers. At one time a vibrant part of town filled with malt houses, tanneries, shoemakers, harness makers and publicans, a major transformation took place from the 1700s onwards as industry moved to other areas and the street became primarily residential. The study focuses on the families who lived and worked in the area. It is intended as a useful tool for those researching their ancestors who came from Bandon."--amazon.com
