Description
This collection delves into Cork's history to reveal some of its most unusual events and characters. From eccentric individuals like Baron Spolasco to outlaws like Airt Ó Laoghaire, the city has seen its fair share of strange people.
With revelations about mass graves in Bishop Lucey Park, stories of Jonathan Swift's award of freedom to the city, and tales of the Gas Works' strike and the city's trams, Hidden Cork brings history to life through the streets of Cork.
This book offers a fresh perspective on the city's past, shedding light on the more unusual aspects of its history and bringing the flow of time to life in a unique way.
