Sean Curtin's Limerick – A Stroll Down Memory Lane has undoubtedly become a cherished tradition, particularly as the Christmas season approaches.

With its 26th volume, this annual publication continues to capture the essence of Limerick’s rich cultural and social history. Each edition brims with stunning photographs from local photographers, accompanied by compelling narratives that bring the city’s 20th-century heritage to life.

These books are more than a historical record — they evoke the spirit of Limerick, reminding its readers of the city's enduring beauty and charm.

For anyone passionate about local history or simply eager to relive the sights and stories of bygone days, this series remains an essential read. Volume 26 promises to be another delightful journey through Limerick’s storied past.

I keep coming back to this photograph. Behind him, people are preparing for a strike over the cost of housing. On the steps, he’s deep in a book.

I wonder what he’s reading, and what he’ll notice when he looks up. Something we think about at Quay Books. A book can send you back into the very same street with something new to notice.

Yes, I hope Waterford win. I remember a great cup match between Limerick and Waterford in the FAI Cup around 1970. Second round, I think. The game on the Sunday in Kilcohan Park was a draw. The replay took place in Limerick, The Markets Field, on the Thursday. In the first two minutes, Johnny Matthews, with a diving header, smashed the ball into the Limerick net. Although we peppered the Waterford goal for the next 88 minutes, we could not score. Years later in a pub in Waterford, I ran into Johhny Matthews and I asked him about the goal. He replied:"The dogs don't even get around that fast." The Markets Field in Limerick was also a greyhound racing stadium.

Brilliant game of hurling, Maria, Some great hurlers on both sides. As a Limerick man, I’d be worried about the challenge which Galway will pose for us next year. As Galway County Librarian, on my regular visits to Woodford branch library, I have memories of seeing the Tommy Larkins hurling pitch close by. Congratulations Loughrea! Pat at Quay Books
