Local history background to items at Woodward’s next sale

The connection to the Dwyer family of Sunbeam Wolsey should draw the crowds, writes Des O’Sullivan.

There should be plenty of local interest in Woodward’s spring auction next Saturday (March 4), as it features contents from the estate of the late Dorothy (Dodo) Dwyer.

A member of the Dwyer, Sunbeam Wolsey factory family at Blackpool in Cork, the family name is woven into the industrial and social history of the city.
