Author: Sean Osborne – Paperback – Second Edition July 2023
The introduction opens with the author’s childhood memory of hearing neighbours lament the death of an older resident—“he knew all the local history and now it’s lost forever.” As the author grew older, this refrain resonated more deeply, sparking a determination to preserve the stories and details that shape the identity of his home place. This book is the result of that resolve: an effort to safeguard the living history of Carrowmoreknock and the surrounding area in County Galway before it fades from memory.
The books content is broad and richly varied. It explores the people—remarkable characters and everyday neighbours—as well as the trades, buildings, and local institutions that formed the backbone of the community. It delves into how people built, travelled, farmed, and fuelled their lives; the customs and activities that defined daily living; the technologies that changed everything; and the historical events that left their mark on the region. Through these pages, the author aims to honour a way of life, capture its unrecorded stories, and ensure that the heritage of this Galway community endures for future generations.
