Storm Éowyn is making its way to Ireland and it's promising to be 'the worst storm in living history', (we don't like that kind of history...) We will be closed all day on Friday, sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. Stay safe everyone! #skibbereen

#skibbereen woman who has a lunar crater named in her honour - taught herself 7 languages to enable her research and her papa was a Famine hero too ... we salute you Agnes from Bridge Street...
The 1st woman admitted to the all-male Royal Astronomical Society, Mary Agnes Clerke’s analyses were so reliable, thoughtful & wide reaching that she became a revered authority. She died #OTD 1907 & a lunar crater was named to commemorate her. #DIBLives

This 1970s postcard of a travelling family from West Cork was handed into us recently... These 'barrel 'vans' were also rented by tourists who travelled/lived in these vehicles around the West Cork coast. Imagine trying that today on on the N71! #westcork #purecork #skibbereen
