22. The buildings may disappear, but the stories remain

What do we choose to remember? As another piece of Bray's past disappears with the demolition of the old Presentation School and Hall, we reflect on the memories that shape our town. A twenty-something from Kilmacanogue recalls her teenage adventures in Bray, we take a fascinating look back at life through the 1926 Census, soak up more summer moments on the Prom, and 80-year-old Jimmy Byrne shares a moving childhood memory that has stayed with him for seven decades.
