THE STREETS OF LIMERICK

THE STREETS OF LIMERICKPHOTOGRAPHED BY WILLIAM MURPHY

I try my best to visit Limerick at least once every year and April 2022 was my most recent visit and it was in reality my most intensive visit as I ended up with more than 5,000 usable photographs. It was also my longest visit as I was there for a week. Unfortunately I have discovered that my updates were not available to visitors to my sites for technical reasons … because of my browser configuration I was presented with the updates but normal visitors were presented with pages that were out-of-date.

I should mention that i did visit in 2021 but the trip did not result in many photographs and my 2020 visit had to be cancelled because of Covid-19 travel restrictions.

REDEVELOPMENT OF THE OPERA SITECAHILL MAY ROBERTS COMPLEX

There are two buildings within the site included on the Record of Protected Structures. The Town Hall, Rutland Street, was built in 1805 and is currently vacant and in a state of serious disrepair. The Granary, Michael Street, is one of the earliest known multiple storey warehouses to be built in Limerick, dating from the late 1700s.

The interior was comprehensively redeveloped in the 1980s, with new offices subject to modernisation in 2015. A further eight buildings on the site are included on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH). A number of these are vacant and in various stages of dereliction, despite a significant amount of remedial works undertaken by the Council in recent years to preserve their structural stability and architectural integrity.

The site is also host to the former Cahill May Roberts Building, fronting Bank Place, some existing and unused warehousing/workspace buildings at Bogue’s Yard and Watch House Lane. The southeast corner of the site currently includes a surface car park with approximately 100 No. spaces.

LOCK QUAY AREA - SEPTEMBER 2021ALSO THE BRIDGE

LOCK QUAY AREA

The fine bridge, located at the entrance to the of the canal into the Abbey River, was restored by Limerick Civic Trust, and survives as one of the only hump-back bridges, along with Baal's Bridge to survive in Limerick City. It is of great significance in its own right and within the context of the canal lock. It marked a further advancement of the City beyond the walls. The adjacent derelict buildings to the north side, which may have operated as a lock keeper's house, and the industrial buildings to the northeast, including Russell's and the former canal brewery form a group with the bridge.

The Richard Russell fountain, which had been overseas for many months undergoing restoration, was returned to the People's Park in November 2009.
