A short loop through a small west Limerick town that changed Irish farming and endured Ireland's worst fire disaster. From the 1889 birthplace of the co-operative creamery movement to the mass grave of the 1926 cinema fire, with the scars of the War of Independence and a stray Percy French tune in between, this walk covers barely half a kilometre yet carries a remarkable weight of history.
