About the Edgeworth Visual History Event

Heritage Week 2025 is dedicated to the theme of “Foundations.” This theme encourages us to explore the fundamental elements of our heritage—not only the physical structures but also the landscapes and cultural practices that have significantly influenced our identity. In alignment with this theme, we will examine the early history of Edgeworthstown, highlighting the pivotal events that have contributed to the community we recognize today.

As we revisit this often-overlooked history, we aim to breathe new life into it, inviting you to join us on a journey into the past. Together, we will uncover the rich tapestry of our shared stories and the landscapes that have shaped our collective experience. We look forward to your participation in this exploration of our heritage.
