Dive into Local History: Discover the Story of Killester!
)
Did you know our neighbours in Killester have a remarkable history? If you love knowing the stories behind our local streets, this new book is a must-read!
Killester: From Medieval Manor to Garden Suburb beautifully charts Killester’s evolution, right from its earliest days as a medieval manor (home to the notorious Newcomen banking family, no less!) up to the dynamic suburb we know today.
It's a fantastic, richly illustrated journey that showcases its transformation into a garden suburb for soldiers returning from the First World War, along with previously unpublished maps and photographs that truly bring the past to life.
This is the first book in Dublin City Council’s Dublin – Shaping the Suburbs series, and it celebrates how community spirit, planning, and big social forces have shaped our area over time.
Written by leading experts Ruth McManus (DCU) and Joseph Brady, this is a brilliant resource for anyone passionate about local Dublin history.
