Pic Of The Day
The Old Drogheda Society Summer series of Walk & Talks continue tomorrow evening when Brendan Matthews will lead the walk which will begin at St Dominic's Bridge and will cover Industries, trade & employment along the River Boyne.
The walk will proceed to The Haymarkett Bridge then to Dyer St, Shop St. to Bullring and on to the various industries along the Scotch Hall Complex ending at the D Hotel area.
This area provided thousands of jobs in the brewing, distilling, milling, foundry and manufacturing industries, many almost forgotten, but Brendan will recall in his own special way, when Drogheda was one of the major industrial centres on the island.
Please meet up at 7.25 pm for 7.30 pm departure from St Dominic's Bridge.

ODS Walk & Talk This Evening With Eamon Thornton
The next in the series of Old Drogheda Society Walk and Talks will take place this evening, 21st June, at 7.30 pm, when Eamon Thornton will lead a walk around the Millmount Complex. This, of course, is the longest day of the year and the walk will be held during the Midsummer Craft Fair that will take place throughout the Millmount Complex. So come and enjoy the craic, be entertained with the arts and crafts of the Fair and learn about the rich heritage of this very important but underappreciated ancient site.
Eamon will inform his audience of the origins of the
site, the mythology and folklore associated with this extraordinary place from
its prehistoric roots through the foundation of the town of Drogheda, its
development through the ages, the major military battles that took place there,
the people who lived in the buildings on the site, its later emergence as
a famous sporting venue where a world champion learned and practiced his sport
and the emergence of Millmount in the 21st century as the site of the
leading voluntary-run museum in the country.
The tour will end with a
visit to the wonderful gun platform of the Napoleonic Tower with its panoramic
vista overlooking the countryside for many miles in all directions. Here
Eamon will talk about the significance of Amergin and his role in the Irish
Mythology Cycle and his links with Millmount.
The Craft Fair will run from 5 pm to 9 pm with the
Walk and Talk at 7.30 pm.
