Cobh Tidy Towns

Based partially on their field trips, plus additional research, they have produced public display posters and leaflets that give information, maps and stories about the five Martello Towers of Cork Harbour. Prior to this there was no information readily available in Cobh. They presented these resources at a launch evening held at Cobh Heritage Centre; the evening also featured a talk from a local historian, and some excerpts of poems and songs that reference the towers. The event was exceptionally well attended and well-received, with an audience of around 90 people. The boards and leaflets will now be made available in various locations in Cobh for both locals and visitors, and content will be adapted for school lesson plans.
