Dungarvan businesses dust off artefacts to go on display

Pharmacies, fashion providers, children’s toy makers, bakers, pubs and photographers have wiped the dust off artefacts from a bygone era to showcase the rich retail heritage of a west Waterford town.

More than 20 businesses in Dungarvan are reshaping their shopfronts in the days ahead for the second year of a heritage trail.

“There are amazing treasures to unveil during Heritage Week in Dungarvan town,” said Margaret Flanagan of the organising committee. “It’s an opportunity to recognise the immense value in these collections before it is too late.”
