Recreating "Crumlin and the Way It Was" by Finola Watchorn (2009). We will recreate this history book from scratch, sell for a fair price and reinvest any excess funds into local history projects.
We're recreating Finola Watchorn's 250-page book "Crumlin and the Way It Was," last printed in 2009. The print files were discarded and there is no digital copy. With Finola's permission, our local society group, Crumlin & Walkinstown History Group, will retype, reformat, recreate, and publish the book. No copies are currently available in the library, and there's high local demand. We aim to make it accessible to all and ensure that the local historical content is available for future generations. The money will be used to reprint the book and promote and enable online sales of the book, with any excess to be reinvested into local history projects in Crumlin and Walkinstown. 📖🏰
