The terraced houses on Southern Road

[MerchantOfEnnis]

Anyone know anything about these?

Theoretically a beautiful row of houses but they seem totally inaccessible. No parking, you've to bring your wheelie bin down the guts of 10-15 steps, and good luck to any older people who want to live there.

I'd imagine they were desirable to young professionals 50 years ago, but the steps make them tough places for an older person to live now.

Someone told me there's parking around the back but I went looking and couldn't find it. Were they referring to Thomand place?

I always find them eerie as so many just sit in darkness. I wonder are half of them just sitting derelict.

Must be loads of these houses in Cork that were built at a moment in time when the future didn't exist.

It's a map link to the parking a the back of those houses.

That map does suggest there's an entrance from the Old Blackrock Road, but it's much further up than I would have expected. I walked up and around one of the little cul de sac estates but deduced at that point that there couldn't possibly be parking behind the houses on Southern Road.

Looking forward to going back tomorrow and checking it out properly. Thanks again

My husband lived in one of them for a few years as a kid. There was definitely access at the back for parking when they lived there, but that was back in the 80s.

There's an arrow on Apollo's map, just keep touching it and it brings you out across from the south infirmary.
