Ep 7. The People’s Park – A Green Oasis, Skipping Rhymes and Chicken’s Call!
We remember a much-loved Bray character who sold newspapers seven days a week in all weathers. Do you recall what he used to shout outside the Royal Cinema and the Holy Redeemer Church? We take a stroll through the People’s Park, a green haven gifted to the town, and hear from Brian White about its rich history, along with voices from the community on why it remains such a special place. Could residents of the Lower Dargle benefit from a local drop-in centre to help combat social isolation? We explore the idea. Finally, we dip back into Freddie’s tapes for more heartwarming snippets from the young voices of Bray’s past.
