As part of the 2017 Culture Night celebrations, Letterkenny Cathedral Quarter will be unveiling two murals of the former residents of No. 1 Church Lane - John and Gerard Crerand.
As the group celebrates these two well-known figures, they are calling on former paperboys and former learner drivers from the town first driving school "Letterkenny School of Motoring" to join them  The Cathedral Quarter would love to hear from anyone who has memories or stories.

  7. I wonder if the house is abandoned, otherwise with the murals painted on the windows the house doesn't get any light. Thanks for participating Bill.
