The Hill of Allen - A Memory Map Project with Deirdre Serjeantson and Geraldine Parsons

From Roseberry in Newbridge, sisters Deirdre and Geraldine talk about the inspiration and stories relating to a very famous local landmark and how their book, "The Hill of Allen - A Memory Map Project", came into being.

The book was launched on 21st August as part of the Newbridge Local History Group Talk Series for Heritage Week 2024. It began as a project for schools sponsored by Kildare County Council, but is a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in local history, folklore and literature surrounding the Hill of Allen.

The Q and A section of the talk is not available here for data protection reasons but can be accessed on request. The unusual background noise is a window and blind blowing on a windy night at the Parish Centre!
