31 October 2009 - I’m Still Standing
It’s wonderful how some of the old buildings in Cork are preserved while all around them their neighbours are demolished and shiny new edifices rise. This one is of course on Emmett Place.
11 August 2009 - H&M Cork
H&M, one of the larger tenants in the new shopping center being built here on Academy Street.
21 May 2009 - Dunnes Stores in Ruins
The skeleton of the Dunnes Stores building on Patrick’s Street lies in ruins as building work continued to refurbish it.
Taken in September 2007, Brian took a shot of the building a few days ago in much better state!
Places are still available for the Cork City Photowalk on July 18th! Please leave comments on yesterday’s photowalk post if you have any questions!
15 April 2009 - Vehicles Max Height 2.2m
The construction site that was Douglas Shopping Centre’s car park in December 2008. If you go there now you’ll drive up a slope where that digger is and a wall separates where I was standing with the roadway!
15 March 2009 - Old Couches and Mattresses
Old couches and mattresses lie in the building site that used to be Philip’s building on Cornmarket Street. Remember that big Philip’s sign on the roof of that building? I wonder if I have photos of that sign ..
12 December 2007 - Penneys from Drawbridge Street
Look carefully. The grey building in the background is Pennys on Patrick Street. This was taken on Drawbridge Street near Aroma. Once construction work commences in this view will be obscured forever.
This is the same site as yesterday’s shot of Dunnes Stores and the JCB, from a different angle.
11 December 2007 - A JCB in Dunnes Stores
Dunnes Stores on Patrick Street, Cork is no more. This is the back of the front of that building which has featured a number of times on my blog.
The whole block is now gone!
16 November 2007 - Towering over the Elysian building site
It’s amazing how much this building site has changed in the last few years. This was taken last May. Now if you took this picture much of the sky would be blocked out by the 3 or 4 storey building work on this side of the site.
3 September 2007 - Caroline Street ESB Station
This used to be an electricity switching station for the trams that traveled around Cork city and suburbs many years ago.
This building was the location for Stanley Super 800’s Gatecrashing video many month’s ago. I still have some super shots of the interior to post. I’ll eventually get around to it.. Some time!
25 August 2007 - Construction in the old warehouse
This is the ground floor of the old warehouse on Father Mathew Quay in Cork. For years it lay rotting away, an eyesore just behind the South Mall, but it’s being developed now. I guess there are apartments going in there, but I recall seeing only tiny windows on the upper floors. Anyone know?
