Some 100 years before this photograph was taken, most of the area we are looking at would have been under water, the river covered much of what is Woodquay today. Most of the people who lived in the area would have been small farmers or fishermen, their houses (outside the city walls) made of blocks of stone, often with moss stuffed into the crevices and a roof covered partly with straw, partly with turf. The river provided a rich source of food, though in the city, the fishery, from the Salmon Weir to the sea, was privately owned.

Waterside Restaurant in Graiguenamanagh has been developing as a venue over the past 10 years. At this point it is as well known for visual art and live music as it is for excellent food. This Sunday, February 22, will see the opening of a unique exhibition of artwork by local artist John Penfold.
