Castletown Heritage

Castletown Heritage was established March 1997 to encourage and support the preservation, restoration and development of the heritage of Castletown.

At its inception, the Council of Management deemed the aims and objects of Castletown Heritage as being:

• To campaign for and promote:
  • the preservation of all buildings worthy of preservation;
  • the restoration of derelict or inappropriately modernised buildings;
  • the enhancement of the town by well-designed new buildings;
  • schemes to improve the environment in the town's housing estates, both public and private;
  • the use of Castletown limestone in building and rebuilding in the town;
  • and the survival of Castletown as a living town with a full complement of shops, a police station, a courtroom and places of employment for as many trades and professions as possible, and
• To record what is no longer with us, both through photographs and through the reminiscences of the older inhabitants.

It publishes a twice yearly newsletter containing interesting sniipets of Castletown History as well as recent happenings as well as organising a series of talks and guided tours.
