  1. Joe Healy shared a wonderful photo of a family festival at the Majorca Ballroom in Crosshaven in 1985. The ballroom closed a few years later.

    Fast-forward to September 2005 when I was in Crosshaven and took a few photos of the building. It suffered fire damage in 2004 and was demolished in late 2005, so I was very lucky that it was still standing when I photographed it.

    Also, a photo inside the Ballroom

  2. The Cork Examiner Offices on Academy Street. in 1961. Looking towards St. Patrick’s Street.

    There's so much to see here:
    * Cork Examiner Office.
    * People going upstairs to The Green Door restaurant.
    * The Travel Agent (still there!)
    * The Victoria Hotel on Patrick Street in the background.
    * Parked cars, but there's a horse and trap too.

  3. A flooded St. Patrick Street, Cork, in 1972. Empty kegs of beer/stout float in the water outside AIB and just down the road from the Munster Arcade, where Penneys is today.
