Re: Re: South Great George’s Street

Nice sunny picture. But when I passed it recently the yellow looked pukey. That might even be a conservation yellow but I still find it pukey. Why does every newly refurbished plastered building have to be painted some tone of yellow?? It’s the Irish yellow obsession that’s been going on for the last decade or so.

Now, dear me what happened to this fine commercial building on Aungier Street? See it below from Google Streetview. Mind you most of the historic shopfront detail still survives. The surviving right-hand half of the building was recently, or still is being, refurbished.

Also note Aungier Street’s provincial-town character in the old photo, haha!
