Welcome To Our Website

The aim of the Kilmacud Stillorgan Local History Society is to promote and sustain an interest in our culture, heritage and history, particularly with regard to Kilmacud Stillorgan and the adjoining areas

Obelisk

The fourteenth edition of the Society’s annual journal, Obelisk, was launched to another packed audience in the Function Room, Glenalbyn Sports Club, Stillorgan on Thursday, 28 November.

As always we pay a special thanks to our many contributors for their very enthusiastic response with material and without whose stories there would be no Obelisk. Over the years Obelisk has accumulated a rich trove of articles that help to give us a fuller picture of daily life and the streetscape of times past.

Future Planning

The committee is busy with work related to the production of Obelisk 2021 - our annual journal, as well as monitoring our plans for autumn talks and examining available options.

Like everyone, we are dependent on updated guidance from the government.

. ........................ ........ ....................... ......... UPDATE ... 24/9/20

Regrettably we had to defer our planned talk in Glenalbyn for September. This decision was taken following the recent spike in reported Covid-19 cases and the consequent increased uncertainty.

Arrangements had been put in place with Glenalbyn to ensure, as much as possible, the safety of everyone at our talks. This includes compliance with public health guidelines and social distancing. However, this means that numbers permitted to attend are significantly reduced.

The committee is delighted to have recorded our September talk and online links to it have now been circulated to our Email List. We hope to repeat the process for future talks, but under current circumstances it is difficult to be precise on dates.

The September talk is on The Roe Family and Roe’s Distillery given by Sean Murphy, who is a well known genealogist and historical researcher.
