  3. #throwbackthursday

    Cork docks 1969, one of my first photos.
    Diana plastic camera & 120 roll film. The camera cost 10 Schillings, bought in Lehanes grocer shop (now Centra) Rossa Avenue, Bishopstown.

    Purchased the film from the chemist shop (now Spice Town?) in Uam Var Ave and the kind man, in a white coat, showed me how to put the film in.

  4. #standingStoneSunday

    Cork city, Ardmahon estate.

    The estate was built aligned with the stone, so it didn't need to be removed.

    One of the children raised in the house went on to become an archaeologist!

  5. Cork City '80s tidal flooding Oliver Plunket St. Cyclist & 'The Brass Boot'

    The OPW plan to top the historic Georgian quay walls with concrete to prevent tidal flooding. Geologists & Engineers I've listened to think it won't work in the city's marshy foundation. Alternative: tidal barrier
