The Same Only Different: Eight decades of Change In Armagh

The Same Only Different: Eight Decades Of Change In Armagh, is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of Armagh Townscape Heritage. The project has restored twelve buildings, delivered shop front and shutter removal schemes, public realm works and over twenty community engagement, training and education projects.

” This short book celebrates the recent work of the Townscape Heritage Project which has been bringing about change over the last decade. At the heart of this scheme is the idea of the importance of place, and how place and people interact through heritage to create meaningful spaces for communities. To walk through these streets is to walk through time and marvel in the vision of Armagh’s past custodians whose presence can still be felt in the buildings they constructed.

It is through engaging with our heritage that we learn about who we are and where we have come from. Drawing from this inspiration allows us to shape and imagine a future for everyone.” Dr Paul Mullan MRIA, Northern Ireland Director, The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
