The Dodder Valley 125 years ago

Press Release: On Wednesday 20th December at 8.00pm, the Local Studies Section of the County Library in Tallaght in association with Tallaght Historical Society will host a slide show The Dodder from Glenasmole to Ringsend in 1881 - An illustrated Lecture using slides taken by Charles Russell. The slide show will be given by Peter Healy, a nephew of the photographer using old glass plate slides. Peter is a brother of the late Paddy Healy, archaeologist and local historian whose books, “All Roads Lead to Tallaght”, “Rathfarnham Roads”, “Glenasmole Roads” and “Archaeology, Early Christian Remains and Local Histories” have been published by South Dublin Libraries.

This is an opportunity not to be missed, a chance to view some remarkable photographic material using a forgotten technology.

Light refreshments will be served.
