12 September 2009 - Dunnes Stores, Patrick Street
Dunnes Stores on Patrick Street Cork opened again last Thursday. This is the store pictured at the end of August when a timer counted down the days to opening.
‘Course, every time I think of this store, I think of the super hero who posed outside it hawking leaflets a few years ago!

Number 26, a house in Youghal, County Cork.
30 August 2009 - Culhan(e)
Mannix and Culhane on Washington Street occupies a low single storey building on the corner with North Main Street. Did they lose the top floors of their building a few years ago? I remember a girl was killed just up the road when falling masonry from a neighbouring building fell on her.
I have a vague recollection that this building was found to be similarly weak but maybe I’m making it all up in my head.
A little fun I had with signs on one of the side streets off Oliver Plunkett Street.
16 August 2009 - The Clock Tower, Youghal
The Clock Tower in Youghal is a building you won’t miss if you travel through the town (and despite the great bypass around the area, we got caught in a huge traffic jam!)
According to this page the tower was built in 1777 and had a grisly past,
In 1777, the town’s Clock Gate was built on the site of Trinity Castle, part of the town’s fortifications. The Clock Gate served the town as gaol and public gallows until 1837; prisoners were executed by being hanged from the windows.
PS. Mark your diaries! Cork photowalk on September 26th! There’s a chance to win one of 3 free rooms in the Montenotte Hotel the night before. Blog post to follow tomorrow!
