Stil there, still ugly: Streetview

I stand corrected, that streetview is from 2017, and the NIAH says it was demolished in 2018. Also this note:

The grain store or warehouse was occupied by pro-Treaty forces during the Civil War (1922-3) and the uppermost floors carry scars from bullets shot by anti-Treaty forces stationed on the South Quays.

Compare the streetview looking South from Dock road in 2014 to 2021.

Probably a warehouse. It has quite a modern look to it.

Arrival At Kilkenny. At 20 minutes past 1 o'clock the King and Queen arrived at Kilkenny on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Ormonde. 'The Marble City' was gaily decorated for the occasion. Large numbers of people gathered in the streets leading from the railway station to the castle, which stands within the town itself, but the crowds were not as large as generally was anticipated. ... From - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/111300623 which included the King's speech etc. It looks like the people on the corner are still putting up decorations, or taking them down. Maybe the day before or after?

... because this reverse view, with the King and Queen driving past, has more decorations on that corner - static.wixstatic.com/media/04a445_ad5d6ffde8f4427e90c9325... From - www.historickilkenny.com/royal-visit
