THE GREAT WAR MEMORIAL
SOUTH MALL CORK
I photographed this War Memorial in August 2021 but upon processing the images I discovered that the inscriptions were unreadable. I now have a different workflow and the text should be readable but that may depend on your device.

TRIBUTE TO FREDERICK DOUGLASS
PAINT-A-BOX STREET ART IN CORK
I included this photograph because of the following news item [31 July 2023] "A striking bronze statue of author, anti-slavery campaigner and early champion of women’s rights Frederick Douglass has been unveiled in Belfast city centre." The lifesize statue was created by Scottish figurative sculptors Alan Beattie Herriot and Hector Guest. It is located beside the historic First Presbyterian Church in Rosemary Street where Douglass delivered lectures during his time in Belfast. I plan to photograph this memorial when I next visit Belfast.

MARIAN GROTTO
LOCATED IN BLACKROCK VILLAGE CORK
Back in 2007 it was suggested that this grotto at Pier Head on the Marina should be relocated to the new Blackrock park to allow improved vehicular access to the slipways. When I visited in September 2018 and August 2021 it was still at its original location ... I wonder what happened.

MANNIX AND CULHANE AT THE CORNER
CORNER WASHINGTON STREET AND SOUTH MAIN STREET
On the last day of 1999 Ms Aoife Bell (20), from Kerry Pike, just outside Cork city, was fatally injured when the parapet of two adjoining buildings in Washington Street collapsed and showered masonry on to the pavement below. As a result, the corporation served notice to vacate on the owners and occupiers of 16 properties in Washington Street. Among the affected buildings are drapers Mannix & Culhane's, at the corner of Washington Street and South Main Street, and a bar, hairdressing salon and nightclub on South Main Street.

A WALK ALONG SOUTH DOUGLAS ROAD
A REALLY WET AND WINDAY DAY
On the second day of my visit I decided to visit the village of Douglas and got a bus which broke down and after a long wait I decided to walk but it began to rain and it became so heavy that I had no option but to get a bus back to the city centre. After waiting more than an hour I decided travel by foot to the city centre. This was back in August 2021 and because of travel restrictions the bus service was unreliable. When I visited in May of 2023 there was a bus every ten or fifteen minutes.

CHRIST THE KING AT TURNER'S CROSS
CHURCH EXTERIOR
The church is built in a simplified Hiberno-Romanesque style, with a long nave and a short transept. The exterior is made of limestone, and the interior is decorated with marble and mosaics. The most striking feature of the church is the large statue of Christ the King, which stands at the entrance. The statue was designed by the American sculptor John Storrs.

CHURCH INTERIOR
CHRIST THE KING AT TURNER'S CROSS
Christ The King Church is a Catholic church in the Turners Cross area of Cork City, Ireland. It was designed by the American architect Barry Byrne and built between 1929 and 1931. The church is a fine example of 20th-century ecclesiastical architecture, and is considered to be one of Byrne's most important works.
