"And Who Were They?" - Faces of the Past: Uncovering Shinrone and Ballingarry's Story in The DeRoe & Griffin-Hough Photographic Archive. Step into history and help rewrite it! This exhibition invites you to rediscover the forgotten faces captured in the DeRoe and Griffin-Hough Photographic Archives—images spanning from the 1890s to the 1950s. Each photograph holds a mystery. Each face once belonged to someone who lived, loved, and left their mark on our community here in Shinrone and Ballingarry - Now, we ask: Can you name them? This is a rare and unique chance to help bring these individuals out of anonymity—to honour them with their names and stories before time steals them away completely. Come, explore the photographic exhibition. See the faces - Recognise someone - Remember someone. Together, let’s restore their identity and reconnect with our shared past. With thanks to The DeRoe family for preserving and sharing this extraordinary window into our heritage. The Exhibition will be formally launched on Friday at 7pm. All are very welcome and refreshments afterwards. Image: Photographer Willian DeRoe
