The Grand Parade Construction Site

Posted on 14 July 2006

Another view down the Grand Parade and a look at the construction site that takes up most of the street! Well known shop fronts such as the Singer Sewing Centre are visible in the background. In sharp contrast, the new Soho bar and restaurant is right next to it. It’s all modern steel beams and plate glass.

Since this photo was taken they’ve taken down the fountain in the centre of the street. I presume it’ll be put back again?

I guess we’ll just have to trust that progress is being made here, because I can’t tell that it is.

What a headache for commuters.

We’ve suffered Irish theme pubs over here for ages offering delights such as All Day Irish Breakfasts and, I kid you not, Champ and Sausages! So now you’ve a slice of Laaaarndon to look forward to in Cork. I hope the prices aren’t too realistic….

[...] This was a construction site a few months ago but work is progressing well and most of the work is done. [...]
