The lady, Mabel Wallace tells of these changes that she has witnessed herself that include what education was like in her youth, remembering the first family car, what road conditions were like a century ago, the threshing season on the farm, making butter in the home, going to the races in a pony and trap and sending cattle by train.

Down Memory Lane with Mabel Wallace - 100 Years of Change will be screened at the IMC cinema in Kilkenny on November 13.

The film has been shown in numerous cinemas in recent weeks and has received a hugely positive reaction.
