18 November 2009 - Bike Park
The bike park on Patrick’s Street, Cork.
17 November 2009 - Director’s Cut
First of all Virgin Megastore was sold off to Zavvi and shortly afterwards they had a liquidation sale and went under. Now Director’s Cut are in there and it’s a depressing store. There’s no piped music to liven the dead atmosphere, oh dear!
16 November 2009 - Pub of the year for sale
The Woodford on Patrick’s Street Cork closed some time ago. Shame really as it was a nice pub.
13 November 2009 - The Historic C.O.D Ranch
The Historic C.O.D Ranch outside Oracle in Arizona where Automattic held a meetup in January 2008. Winter in the desert is mostly pleasant, during the day. At night it was freezing!
4 October 2009 - St Patrick and the Volkswagen
A Volkswagen Beetle parked across the road from St. Patrick’s Catholic Church on the Lower Glanmire Road in Cork. The church was built in 1840. The car, not so old.
Shot on the recent photowalk in the city.
25 September 2009 - Steep Incline
A steep incline leads down to the bottom of the Old Youghal Road.
Photowalk tomorrow! See you at the Montenotte Hotel at 10am!
22 September 2009 - The evolution of back pain
A small poster advertises a survey on back pain. It’s a 3 year programme and since this was taken in 2007 it’s nearing completion now!
Taken somewhere in San Francisco.
20 September 2009 - Cork Button Co Ltd
Cork Button Co Ltd still exist and trade from Pope’s Quay in Cork but I don’t think they occupy the building the pictured above.
17 September 2009 - John Lynch The Fenian
A plaque on a wall on Devonshire Street in Cork records the capture of a Fenian in 1865.
JOHN LYNCH THE FENIAN
CAPTURED HERE SEPTEMBER 1865
DIED WOKING PRISON JANUARY 1866
There’s more, this page has quite a bit on him, but also gives a different date for his death.
John Lynch was a widower and publican who lodged in Cork City and became involved with the Cork City Fenians. He was convicted on the word of an informer, John Warner, who stated that Lynch was a colonel in the Fenian organisation in Cork. Lynch was convicted of treason and felony by Judge Keogh in December 1865. Overall the evidence used to convict Lynch was rather weak for the sentence of 10 years penal servitude.
UCC has a photo of him in their archive but unfortunately it’s not online. I’d love to see that and scan it in or take a photo (sans flash) of the photo. Anyone got contacts in the Boole Library? Wouldn’t it be great to see those archived online on pix.ie or flickr?
