An evening of conversation and talks
On Friday 1st November, there will be an evening of conversation and talks exploring memories and aspects of the Kildare Town factory and its output in its heyday. Aileen McGee will be joined by David Skinner, wallpaper historian and conservator, along with Kildare historian Mario Corrigan, in what promises to be an illuminating evening of history and pattern nostalgia.
