Built on Memories, Carried by Community

RATHCOOLE MEMORIES

Presearving the Memories of Our Communiy!

What is Racthcoole Memories?

Rathcoole Memories, led by NACN and supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, is a community project preserving Rathcoole’s history through stories, photographs, and videos shared by local people. Together we’re building an archive of voices, moments, and memories—celebrating the area’s heritage and ensuring today becomes tomorrow’s history.

Our Logo

Earlier this year, we partnered with local schools to launch a logo design competition for Rathcoole Memories, inviting students to create a design that captured the spirit and heritage of our community. The response was fantastic, with a wide range of creative and thoughtful entries submitted. After much consideration, the winning design was chosen and has since become the official logo of Rathcoole Memories. We are proud to share that the winning artwork was created by Bella from Abbots Cross Primary, whose design now represents the project and its mission to preserve and celebrate Rathcoole’s history. We also extend our thanks to all the young artists who took part, each contributing their own unique vision to this important community project.

Got something from Rathcoole’s past? Let’s keep it alive

The Process

Old photos, school bits, notes, tickets — whatever memories you’ve got, bring them along and we’ll scan them for the community archive.
 
You’ll take everything home with you — we’re just making copies to help tell the story of Rathcoole.
 
Check out the video to see how it all works — it’s quick, simple, and actually pretty cool!
