Pleasant surprize last evening when Dave Gilbourne and Fiona Hayes stopped in on their return from a holiday in Donegal. Dave lives in Limerick and is a nephew of the late and famous Jack Gilbourne who worked in the power plant in Shannonbridge for many years and died on 28 Dec 1992 aged 48 years. Dave is trying to discover his dead uncle and would appreciate any photographs, sayings or stories of Jack. You can contact him at gilbod2001@yahoo.co.uk
Some twenty years ago three English fishermen were yearly visitors to Shannonbridge and were known as Len, Pete and Another. Last evening Len stopped off with his wife to show her his old fishing ground and he had a lovely album of photographs from that period.They chose two high stools and sat within ten feet of Paudge Bennett for well over two hours and Len said he was glad he called back. His wife Betty is a mobile hairdresser and has promised to return.

Some business people in the village are considering putting their premises live on our website and it would be good to have more join in.
