Someone was going to be cycling home after dark from here in Kinsale.
ÉALÚ emergency exit
An emergency exit sign spotted in the first floor window of a building in Kinsale, Co Cork. Despite the shadows, the sign gives a clue to the internal floor plan of the building. It looks a bit out of place, but it has to be there. Georgian sash windows like this one were originally designed…
