Keeping an Eye on the Youngsters Below
The tower of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells, towers over the surrounding buildings and is visible from the big wheel on Grand Parade.

Red Brick and Stone
Following on from yesterday’s photo of Shandon Bells, here’s another one taken nine years earlier in 2007, on a day when it was about to rain, but the sun came out for one final glimpse of Cork before the wet enveloped the city. You can see Shandon Bells, the North Cathedral, SS Peter & Paul’s…
Cork’s Spiritual Heights
The historic spire of St. Anne’s Church, Shandon Bells, rises out of the mist, with the North Cathedral, the Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, behind it. In the foreground is the roof of SS Peter & Paul’s Church and the nearby Presbytery. This was photographed on December 10th, 2016. Just a day over…

From North Side to County
A sight well known to anyone who lives in Cork City. The Spire of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells stands like a beacon. The Cathedral of St Mary and St Anne is just off shot to the right, out of this shot. The County Hall can be seen far off in the distance out…
Shandon Bells and County Hall
The clocks of Shandon Bells, or the Four Faced Liar (because the clocks rarely agree on the time), and the County Hall far off in the distance.
