Old Port, New Skyline

Photos
Stone warehouse buildings with green doors along Custom House Quay in Cork, their reflection in the dark river below, with modern glass offices, a bare concrete tower under construction and two cranes rising behind them against a blue sky with streaked cloud.

The stone warehouses along Custom House Quay have sat behind their green doors for as long as I can remember. Behind them the glass offices construction of the Railyard Apartments tower climbs up, with two cranes over the work.

Two eras. Old and new.

  1. @donncha Certainly more public transport and more infrastructure in general, I’d say before towers. The city where I grew up had a big problem with that and large apartment blocks without anyone thinking how their tenants will go to places they need are sad places to be in.Well, maybe towers first is an appropriate action in such an acute housing crisis, the infrastructure still has to follow.Someone should also fix the growing problem of derelict buildings all over the city.
