Cyclist at Togher Cross 1930s
The blog will serve as both an on-line diary of events covering the activities of the Togher Historical Association as well as acting as a repository for articles of interest covering many subjects both historical and current all pertaining to the district. Please note however , that while the Authors strive to make every post as accurate as possible , nothing here is official , authoritative or exhaustive - rather it is a work in progress and may be subject to frequent updates as more information becomes available.
The blog must pay tribute to the works of two Authors without which much of Togher's past would have gone undiscovered and to whom a huge debt is owed - Richard Henchion and Tom O'Keeffe. Between them , they have uncovered a tremendous amount of material relating to our Community for which eternal gratitude is due.
The blog's mission will be to build upon and hopefully expand on the already existing documentation which is now available and to create an historical database for all Togherites. More interviews , articles and extensive fieldwork trips will be added to the already existing roster.
It is envisaged that as time goes on , video will be the predominant medium for showcasing various locations around the Togher district. The blog also hosts 3 Facebook groups " I'm From Togher , Boy " - home to Togher people all over the world! And " Tramore Road " which concentrates on the old secondary school's 20 year tenure which taught a legion of Togher boys. The blog also hosts the Togher Community HUB which carrie all manner of topics that are relative to Togher. See links under Labels on main homepage.
Enjoy your past!
