Historical Geographical info wanted Fedamore

angeldaisy

I was wondering if anyone can help me out, I'm a 3rd level student doing a geog project on the parish of fedamore, I'm hoping to look at fedamore - croom - ballyneety area.
Would anyone have any info on the historical geog of this area, or know where I could access it?
Thanks

What do you need to know? Have you tried the Granary Library? Its located right beside the entrance to Trinity Rooms. Im pretty sure that they do a lot of local hisory stuff, and may have some maps also..

Worth sending an email to these guys, even though its city based

Fella called Tony Browne who used to be on local radio, and indeed West Limerick radio briefly who seemed to know everything about every parish in the county! Worth a shot.
