Description
Henry Maude grew up in Swords and he retains vivid memories of his investigations of the underground passageways which lead from the Castle to the Round Tower. He recalls the farmers of Rush coming to Swords on Market Day, the sports which included tennis and cricket and the divisions in the community between Catholics and Protestants. He speaks about his own profession as an optician and the changes in that profession over the years. Henry’s father was a founder member of the Fingal Historical Society.
