A Place in Time - A Radio Documentary Series

A Place in Time is a 12-part local history series for radio, exploring the characters and stories behind a selection of Cork city's historic plaques and signs. It was first broadcast on Cork Campus Radio in 2010.

The idea for the series was first prompted by a survey undertaken by Cork City Council of the city's plaques and signs in 2002. The results of this survey were published some years later in the form of a booklet entitled "A Guide to Cork city's historic plaques and signs".

Each episode in the series deals with one plaque or topic (e.g. Father Mathew, Nano Nagle etc.) and features on-location interviews with a single source. Typically, this source is someone with particular historical knowledge or familiarity with the subject of the plaque or sign. More detail on each episode is contained in the posts below. An audio link for each episode is also available in each post.

This series was made with the support of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, the Heritage Council and Cork City Council.
