An Impossible View

Many of the buildings in this photo are now gone, replaced with imposing glass frontage, or in the case of The Sextant there’s nothing there but a car park.

Long Gone in Cork

Way back in 2005 before the Elysian was built. Look at all the buildings that are gone now:

The warehouses in the foreground are gone.
The Sextant was demolished last year.
Cork Bonded Warehouses are gone a long time.
In the far background many new buildings have gone up.

This view from the City Hall car park is no longer possible of course because the Elysian and new development along Alert Quay gets in the way. The new development is welcome but building more and more offices and hotels is a mistake. We need more residential development.
