The restoration of Cooley Cross & Graveyard began in January
this year. We intend to compile a gallery of photographs covering
the progression of the works carried out by the local FAS Scheme,
The Cooley Cross Heritage Development Committee and the volunteers
who help out each Saturday morning. If you have any photos of your
own you would like to see added to the gallery, then please forward
them to us at the following email address: info@movilleinishowen.com
alternatively post or drop them into our office at The Cornstore,
Bath Terrace Lane, Moville, Co. Donegal - any photographs given
to us will be returned.
