Listen back to episode 8 of our placenames series, ‘Where do you think you are?’ as we take a trip to Silvermines.
In this episode we’ll hear from placenames expert, Dr Pádraig Ó Cearbhaill, local man and retired school principal, Michael O’Brien, and the stories from the Schools’ Collection (which were written down by children in the 1930s) will be ready by local children 8-year-old Ruaidhrí and 10-year-old Robbie O’Brien.
