The Kildare Council of Comhaltas Ceolteoiri is marking its 50th anniversary this year – a period in which it is added greatly to the musical culture of the County. Coinciding with Fleadh Cheoil Chill Dara which takes place in Clane this week the Kildare Council of CCÉ  has organised this event which should be of interest to local historians. Comhaltas in Kildare have maintained an impressive archive of its events and news through the years and a display of this material provides an insight into a perhaps under studied facet of the county’s cultural history.

This illustrated talk outlines the archaeological discoveries made in 2016 and 2017 in advance of construction of the M7 Motorway Upgrade and R407 Sallins Bypass, Co. Kildare. About 20 new archaeological sites were discovered and excavated, including charcoal-production pits, smelting furnaces, cereal-drying kilns, a brick-kiln, post-medieval roadways, a mill-race, prehistoric cremations and a ceremonial ring-ditch. The most significant finding was undoubtedly an early medieval enclosure complex on the banks of the River Liffey, north of Sallins village.

Birr Workhouse is an intact example of the original pre-famine Irish workhouses designed by George Wilkinson. Opened 1842 as Parsonstown Union Workhouse, Birr Workhouse was relatively unaltered, being used mostly for light industry after it was closed in 1921. 20170913T200000 20170913T213000 +53.289661;-6.692398 Clane GAA @ Crockaun Commons, Clane, Co.

Donation ai1ec-5138@kildarelocalhistory.ie 20171107T181659Z Celbridge,Federation Celbridge Historical Society & Co. Kildare Federation of Local History Groups The 18th Annual Seminar and AGM of the Co. Kildare Federation of Local History Groups will take place on Saturday 7th of October 2017. This year the seminar will undergo a change in format and location taking place in Celbridge under the auspices of Celbridge Historical Society who have kindly offered to host us. The Seminar will take place in Ireland’s earliest surviving and grandest Palladian Mansion Castletown House. The new seminar/AGM format will retain its well established emphasis on sharing our experiences and catching up on the activities of the various member groups during the previous year. There will be the usual chance for chats over tea/coffee and an optional lunch will be available locally between the indoor and outdoor parts of the day. It promises to be an interesting programme of history and heritage in one of our county’s historic estate towns. In the public session which starts at 11am after the AGM, Turtle Bunbury will explore a broad sweep of history from one year, 1847, in a talk based on his very popular book 1847: a Chronicle of Genius, Generosity and Savagery. Turtle Bunbury is the author of Vanishing Ireland and The Glorious Madness: tales of the Irish and the Great War. His most recent book is 1847: a Chronicle of Genius, Generosity and Savagery (Dublin: Gill 2016), in which he focuses on the historical events of a single year, 1847 – a revolutionary year that, in Turtle’s own words, ‘turned the world upside down’.  In this globetrotting history he addresses everything from the trauma and horror of the Great Famine, to the showmanship of Lola Montez and Tom Thumb. After lunch we will focus in on the local heritage of Celbridge, with a walking tour starting at 2.15pm at the Slip Hall (Behind Christchurch at the main gates of Castletown). Celbridge has a wealth of historic architectural structures of regional and national importance, and boasts connections with many highly significant historic personages from its era as an estate town. Celbridge, however, has much older roots stretching back to early ecclesiastical settlements as its name would suggest. Both aspects of the town’s heritage will be explored in a tour guided by Clebridge Historical Society which will visit some of the towns most historic locations including an 18th century town house garden, Celbridge Abbey grounds and an early ecclesiastical site in Tea Lane which ties both strands of the town’s history together. So make a note in your diary for the 7th of October! PROGRAMME – Note the two sessions; Session one (AGM) is for member groups and their members and takes place in the morning from 9am to 11am.

His son, Brendan Bracken (1901 – 1958), disassociated himself from the family and created a new persona for himself in Britain eventually becoming the 1st Viscount Bracken, a Privy Council, and a minister in the British Conservative cabinet of Winston Churchill during the Second World War. 20171101T203000 20171101T214500 +53.330482;-6.84178 Kelly's Lounge @ Timahoe East, Co.

The main focus will be on mapping and interpreting the spread of tractors across the country as part of the transition from farming as a lifestyle reliant on horses and many farm workers to one that became business-like with a heavy dependence on technology and a drastically reduced input of labour.

Wexford, killing its four crew members. Aircraft of this type had earlier in 1941 bombed the Curragh and in a seperate incident the North Strand, Dublin, resulting in many civilian deaths. Within the military district of the Curragh Command, Local Defence Force Volunteer Jim Rowley was posted as sentry on the wreckage of the Heinkel bomber. Now drawing extensively on once top secret G2 Military Intelligence  files relating to the crash landing of belligerent aircraft, Michael will discuss the subsequent intrigue surrounding the recovery of this fateful aircraft. To illustrate this talk Michael will have on display on the night over a dozen artifacts recovered from original Heinkel’s He 111 aircraft.
