Fascinating photos! I sent a link to my daughter who visited Cobh with me in April. Thanks for sharing those photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Colleen,
DeleteCobh holds a special place in my heart, and I'm so glad you visited. After a close friend of mine died a couple of years ago, I went to St. Colman's and wrote her name in the altar book so she would always be remembered. Anytime I visit there, I always remember her.
Cheers,
Jennifer
It's amazing how different the church looks. Now I'm jealous, seems like everybody has been to Cove except me. Like the library link.
ReplyDeleteSorry meant to write Cobh, not cove
DeleteThanks Charlotte,
DeleteThe church does look so very different doesn't it? It's not so impressive without the spire. No Worries about the spelling. Way back before it was called Queenstown, the town was called Cove Village, and spelled that way. If you have the chance Charlotte I really hope you'll go. Put it on your bucket list. :):)
Cheers,
Jennifer

I like the now & then photos of Cobh...such an important heritage site for many Irish emigrants.
