This alley is located close to the alley in Nurney and is dated to circa 1790. It was close to demolitiion some years ago but was rennovated by the local community. The alley is in very good condition. During the rennovation work additional height was added to the back wall, as was a safety cage around the gallery. The imprint of the gable of now demolished house is visible on the side wall to the east (right).

Heritage Week 2020 - Heritage and Education: Learning from our Heritage
Rather than focusing on the organisation of
in-person public events, local heritage groups and organisers, families
and communities are being invited to develop projects around this year’s
theme of ‘Heritage and Education: Learning from our Heritage’…The new
approach is designed to promote the sharing of experience and knowledge.
Expressions of interest and project ideas should be submitted to HeritageWeek.ie, and be carried out throughout June and July.
Projects should be completed in time for National Heritage Week – 15-23 August when they will be showcased.
Accepted formats for showcasing may vary from online talks or exhibitions, to a video, podcast, slideshow presentation or blog, to media coverage, a dedicated website or moderated social media account, or by means of small, restricted social gatherings, which comply with official public health advice.
