Historical talk on the 'Streets of Nenagh'

This month’s Ormond Historical Society talk ‘Streets of Nenagh’ by Donal A Murphy will take the audience on a wander through both time and place, as Donal discusses the how and the why behind the confusing range of street names which sometimes befuddle both residents and visitors alike. 
The talk will also remember some of the residents and recall some racy yarns and anecdotes, which will surely enliven the night's proceedings. 
U2 wrote about 'Where the Streets Have No Name' - had they chosen to write about Nenagh it would surely have been 'Where the Streets Have More Names', with some streets having two or even three names. This is your chance to have the web of confusion cleared and to discover the present official and past names, which are oft-times used side by side. 
Surely an excellent way to start the celebration of Nenagh 800 by confirming whether you park in Bank Place, bank in Castle St, shop in Queen St, are waked in Silver St or buried in Church St. 
The talk is open to everyone, so come along to the Abbey Court Hotel on Monday, February 10th, for what promises to be an entertaining look at an often commented upon aspect of Nenagh. The talk will commence at 8pm; admission for non-members is €5.
Donal A Murphy's work includes:  'Nenagh Tourist Trail' (1977), 'The Two Tipperarys' (1994), 'Blazing Tar Barrels and Standing Orders' (1999), material added to Nancy Murphy's 'Walkabout Nenagh' (1994) and leading a series of OHS walking tours in the 2000s.
