Pah! pubgrub.-no chicken in a basket here[This message has been edited by LOB (edited 11 May 2001).]
Interesting thought Paul
the buildings that did exist have been gone more than 20 years so the buildings on the north of the street would have aquired the right to light(except the newer developments)-but with hawkins house and apollo house in the way, the actual light would not be greatIt would be great to have something there to draw people to the street, rather than passing through
It has to be said that Poolbeg street has not been well served by the recent additions (both West and East) specifically the apartments behind the corn exchange as well as ashford housecannot remember but if there was room they might re-establish the street line which would to some extent mask hawkins house while reintroducing the scale of poolbeg street.
could be achieved if they removed the lower block nearest poolbeg street(wouldn’t effect the reception area)Regarding Po’s point yesterday on the sacrificial tower
this quote is in today’s Irish TimesMr Jerry Ryan, of architects Horan Keogan Ryan, said his clients were “very pleased with the result” because it would still allow them to build some 600,000 sq ft (55,741 sq m) of space on the two-acre site.
speaks volumes
Po, I formed the same opinion on the Smithfield tower.If you win,bonus
as far as I can remember,I think it was one apartment per floor in the towerIt might be easier to check out old O.S. maps, if there was a terminus-the tracks would show on it.
Archinfo in Richview (ucd) would be worth a visit (large collection of old o.s maps)http://www.dublincorp.ie/news2.htm
do a site search under “macken”[This message has been edited by LOB (edited 24 April 2001).]
According to Peter Pearson’s “the heart of Dublin” the fish Market opened in 1897
also on the car park/gym he states“The Charity schools of the meeting house in St. Mary’s abbey catered for about thirty children in 1835.It is not certain whether any of the meeting house survives, although some of the external walls may form part of the present gym, which occupies an old hall on this site. At the end of Meeting House lane, behing the gym is a large building,now used as a car park where two substantial arcades, erected in 1882, support a heavily constructed steel floor above”
Paul, I’m sure there is a wealth of site experiances/situations out there:As well as reactions to the buildings themselves.
I resent pubs who only have cold flow.
also the “Quality” issue has a lot to do with the disappearance of the concept of serving your time(apprentice) to be replaced with the cheapest possible labour.methinks that these words are a desperate effort to placate-very planning report/EIS speak.
but when taken on their own-with the likes of the sweepstakes site, that new monster hotel,…..Help!A planning notice has been put up on Number 3 for change of use at ground and first floor and part of the basement for offices
with 5 apartments at second and third floor as well as the remaining part of the basement.this is list 1.
I checked with the Corporation and there has been no planning application recently
this stinks!!!!!!!
