I used to shop here for vintage clothes back in the early 90’s. I loved it- it had a real sense of what i imagine the old markets on the sites of the Ilac Centre and St.Stevens Green had back in the day. Run by a gaggle of older women traders, I used to spend many a happy hour rooting out old clothes- anything from Victorian onwards….a terrible shame all that tradition is lost in Dublin now, all that remains of it I guess is down at the Hill Market off Parnell St of a Saturday morning, and I suppose its days are numbered now that the social welfare office is closed on North Cumberland St….I wonder what plans they have for that building….

A very comprehensive review of the existing structures i think, however, i cant find any reference to the original railway buildings. Are these not part of the lands to be developed?
