Sharing Memories at the Mansion House
Published on 25th May 2015
We thought this scan from last Saturday when members of the public came along to the Mansion House to share their memories of said beautiful building particularly interesting. Might you agree?
The photo (see below) shows the winner of the 1977 Men's World dancing championship, Jimmy Johnston from Dundalk, centre, together with the runner-up and third placed. . The event of course took place in the Round Room of the Mansion House. Many thanks to Jimmy for permissions to use the photo.
Note the runner-up, one Mike Flatley from Chicago. I wonder... ?
