Walking tour of Seatown planned

The Old Dundalk Society will host a walking tour of Seatown on Thursday August 28^th.

Archaeologist Paul Gosling, a native of Dundalk who now lectures in Built Heritage at the Department of Heritage and Tourism at Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, will lead the walk through one of the oldest parts of town.

The tour will commence from the Green Church at 5pm and will take around two hours.

It will deal with street names, street alignments and layouts and the role of prominent buildings such as the windmill, Seatown Castle, Quay Street railway station and St Leonard’s Garden.

Seatown Castle in the rare old times!

Check out this fantastic picture of Seatown Castle from Mill Street by Garrett O’Rourke. The castle remains almost identical today but much of what surrounds it is very different.
