Out by Skerries direction. I think we have at least one member here from Rush. But I bet someone will be familiar to Loughshinney.

You amaze me! My grand-parents came from Blackrock and Monaloe and my summer seaside outings were to Greystones and Bray!

When I was a lad, Mr Holland (Studio44) had a caravan there - Liz had a sort of shop near the harbour, Richard Mates had a caravan there and Maeve Wild/ Fran Rogan/Barbara Morgan lived in the village.................

Liz is still alive and opens the shop for a while in the summer...no juke box though
Maeve Wild married Michael Gorman from Carnlough Rd but he died young and she remarried, tink she lives in Balbriggan now.
Fran Rogan...do you mean Amy, Georgies and Rodys dad? Lived at the harbour in the thatched house?
