Old Cork Photos

No one will ever get nostalgic for the North Main St Car Park or Merchants Quay Shopping Centre amongst others as they replaced historical streetscapes and river frontages which would if restored be an asset to us all now.
Sad to think that we went down the road of pushing those old neighborhoods out to the suburbs and obliterated the history that went along with them. I vaguely remember Merchants Quay before it was knocked, was a kip but there was no will to keep the old living quarters for financial gain. Now we realize that depopulating the city center of communities was brain dead but housing people in soulless glasshouses in the coming years. Yes we will have people living in the city centers but no communities.
