    What about something on the churches in the town? Or abbeys in the locality etc? The local workhouse?

    Or how about an incident during the war of independence or the civil war???
    I did mine on an IRA ambush in my local area.

    Why dont you write about the Bridges old and new considering they have been of the great significance to the growth of the town since records began

    Maybe The Famine?

    In my time, you had to pick a topic between 1868 and 1966. So that would rule the famine out.

    Dont know if they have the same course nowadays as I am getting old!
