The Bob Bickerdike Photo Archive exhibition offers the first public access to a wide collection of historical images from local social photographer Bob Bickerdike. Archivist and curator Kieran McCarthy has maintained this archive with its wealth of images showing Youghal and its people; daily life and special occasions and the families who lived and worked in the town. For many, there will be familiar faces and shared family histories: for the newcomer, a rich and diverse illustration of Youghal’s culture and history. The exhibition features 45 large photographic prints which will be hung throughout the Cumann na Daoine centre, itself a part of local heritage with its origins as the League of the Cross Hall. The launch event on 22nd August at 7pm features a big-screen slideshow of archive images edited and produced by Kieran McCarthy from Bickerdike’s collection and there will be a welcome for all. The exhibition runs until September 12th, and flatscreen archive slideshow screenings will be open to the public from 12-2pm each weekday. No booking required. Eircode P36 WY42.
Exhibition runs until 12th September 2024 at 2pm.
