RADIO MUSEUM EXPERIENCE

at
Cork City Gaol

6CK - the Cork Broadcasting Station was officially opened on April
25^th 1927 by the then Minister for Posts & Telegraphs, Bandon-born
J.J. Walsh T.D.

The Radio Broadcasting Studio was situated in the unlikely setting of the former
Cork City Gaol Governor's House! The Gaol had closed as a prison in 1923 and was, more or less, forgotten about until the Civil Servants charged with responsibility for finding a suitable building, on a height, within a secure area which could cater for the building of a mast, remembered the former gaol.
