Help Tipperary Museum put names to the picture collection of the late Paddy Cashin

Tipperary Museum of Hidden History are currently displaying black and white photographs from Paddy Cashin’s photographic collection 1977 - 1983.

As the weeks and months roll on, the museum will update the images from these years and add additional years from 1984 - 1987 and so on, up to the 90s.
Museum staff are seeking help from the public to put names on the people in the photographs.
To help out people can click into into the museum website www.hiddenhistory.ie/ exhibitions   

Click on an image and enter a message about the picture ie: names of people in the picture and a story you might have about the man himself, Paddy Cashin, (these messages are sent to us privately).
You can also visit the museum to see the current exhibition in person, it’s so much more impressive, in the flesh and with some surprises along the way!

Helen, Anne and Marc are now delighted that so many of those photographs will be on display in the museum over the coming months, the selection changing regularly as members of the public put names to the many faces on display.
Helen explains – “The exhibition took seed with the emptying out of our childhood home in College Avenue. Anne suggested that we bring the many canisters of film to the museum and from there it all took off. We had rolls and rolls of film developed, and there were belly laughs, cringes and tears, but it was worth the hours put in to see how Clonmel and its people had changed over the years.”

The family pay a huge tribute to museum curator, Marie McMahon and her team, for putting such a fabulous exhibition together for the people of Clonmel to enjoy.
