This is the most detailed book ever written
about the town.
Ranging from an account of life
in Maryborough (the town’s former name) in the 1700’s, through
a history of 32 shopkeepers on Main Street, to a vibrant survey of local music
in the 20th century, these pages are teeming with townies
of all descriptions.
Other chapters feature the long-forgotten Golden Croft, the local
Methodist chapel, and an unlikely blend of postal and personal history. Add to all this,
hundreds of random facts drawn from four centuries and the result is a captivating guided tour
through the history of Portlaoise.
Following the completely-sold-out-in-a-week success of the hardback edition,
the paperback is now available. Price for single copy includes postage and packaging. Thank you.
