ReImagine Mountrath
Mountrath has a rich history dating back to the early 17th when it was founded by the Coote family. The location on the Whitehorse River allowed Mountrath to become an industrial hub with extensive linen and cotton weaving traditions. 20th urban development disrupted this connection to an important amenity.
Our proposal seeks to creatively explore, with the local community, how the town can reconnect, socially, culturally, and artistically, with the Whitehorse River. The project will engage the public imagination, explore and remember important cultural histories, while investigating how the town can reengage with this natural amenity.
Reimagine is a nationwide placemaking programme by the Irish Architecture Foundation, working with communities across Ireland to co-create and co-design solutions to problems or opportunities they’ve identified in their locality.
