Local History Tour -Knockroe & Slate Quarries
27th Nov 2025
The Senior classes went on a local history tour last week with local historians Pat O’Gorman and Jimmy Walsh. The pupils were welcomed to Knockroe first of all and were given a very informative history of this special place. They were allowed to walk around and explore the site and appreciate the amazing stones and their historical significance. We then moved onto the Slate Quarries and once again the two local historians regaled the pupils with facts and stories of life in the slate quarries long ago. It was such a treat for the pupils showing them how much history is on their doorstep.
