    Limerick was a bit late in getting a Peoples Park - or that was the view in Limerick
    There was also another project, and which was possessed by cities and towns far inferior in importance than Limerick - and that was a - "People's Park" - with some exertion, the Citizens of Limerick would succeed in having a - "Park"- (hear, hear)
    Mr Michael Ryan, former mayor, at the inauguration of his successor, Alderman Fitzgerald. (Limerick Chronicle - Wednesday 04 January 1860)
  • John Spooner said:
    Work then commenced on the Park 14 years later on 26th October 1874. The mayor was presented with an inscribed spade, then
    The mayor then raised the sod amid enthusiastic cheering, and lifting it into a handsome and fancifully painted wheelbarrow, brundled the vehicle a couple of yards, and setting it down declared the work of setting out the Limerick People's Park to be commenced.
    After more ceremony including laying a foundation stone and speeches there was a "sumptuous déjeuner" (Bassett's Chronicle - Saturday 31 October 1874) [yes, he brundled the wheelbarrow]

    If you cannot remember going there 10 years ago, is it still déjà vu?
  • John Spooner said:
    It finally seems to have opened to the public in May 1877.

    I have a feeling that the French / Lawrence photo is newer than the WR&S one. You wouldn't cover over paths in a People's Park, or get rid of a young tree in the triangle. I always forget; is William Ritchie after 1903?

It’s a long road to Tipperary

    brilliant, love this. I know exactly where it was taken from. Today I will redo it from the same spot for the 2021 view.

    Looks like it was taken from here on the 25" OSI.

    Google says Clare Streetview Doonagore Castle was restored in the 1970s according to Wikipedia
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    This seems to be a very geographically challenged castle - French had it in Co. Galway, this sketch claims Co. Antrim, whereas this catalogue page says Co. Dublin.

    Me arse it is... Doonagore Castle in Doolin, Co. Clare. Even back in those days @@galwaytourism were trying to claim the Burren as theirs, including the Cliffs of Moher.
