Re: Re: Lovely Building Lumps

That’s a heck of a lot of strapping!

The lumps on Quinn’s Lane leading off Upper Pembroke Street are located just at the entrance to the carriage arch.

I heard only during the week that these houses were earmarked for demolition in the late 1970s, with their ‘compromised’ structural condition cited as one of the supporting arguments. Students occupied them for over a year until they were saved.

They feature one of the best carriageways in the city.

Beautifully vaulted.

I think I’d be depressed too if I had heavy cabling tacked over my head 🙁
