In August we held a captivating exhibition celebrating the rich history and heritage of our community through photography – see August 2025: Reflecting on Our 2025 Heritage Week Photo Exhibition for more information.
Curated by the BLCC Historical Group, this event showcased a collection of historic images, capturing everyday life, landmarks, and memorable moments from the past.
For local history enthusiasts and photography lovers and those curious about the stories behind the pictures, this exhibition offered a unique glimpse into the people and places that shaped our area and they were highly praised by the judges for their efforts. The Deputy Mayor of County Cork Cllr. Ian Doyle congratulated them and praised them for their efforts on behalf of their community.
The Deputy Mayor of County Cork Cllr. Ian Doyle commended all the great projects on view, and he praised all the groups involved for their fantastic work and commitment to their localities. He said Cork County Council are committed to supporting this competition as they had been since it started eighteen years ago.
