I’m glad you found us.

This page is an ever-evolving portal for local history, places of interest and and stories about what you might find “a stone’s throw” from Kevin Street Library.

The site will continue to evolve, have a look around but don’t forget to come back and see how it develops.

It’s a place where people can come to learn about the area and shares resources that people can use to do their own investigating.

I called it A Stone’s Throw from Kevin Street because it isn’t really about the library; it’s about what’s around us.

If you are looking for information on the library then go to then click the button below:

I’ve kept the posts short and to the point and hope that they can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages. I have also added links of my sources and for those that want more detail.
