What about something on the churches in the town? Or abbeys in the locality etc? The local workhouse?

Or how about an incident during the war of independence or the civil war???
I did mine on an IRA ambush in my local area.

I did mine on the land war in my local area (Dont know how relevant it is to Athlone) but I got an excellent mark (I went in and looked at my paper), 72/80

In my time, you had to pick a topic between 1868 and 1966. So that would rule the famine out.

Dont know if they have the same course nowadays as I am getting old!
