MY 2016 VISIT

The Pery Memorial Fountain, located in the picturesque People's Park in Limerick, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Pery family. This ornate Victorian fountain, with its intricate carvings, serves as a focal point within the park, drawing visitors with its beauty and historical significance.

When I photographed this in June 2016 I was not aware that the site would be demolished to make way for the Opera Square development.

Mount St Lawrence graveyard, located in the South Liberties, has been the primary place of burial in Limerick City for all strata of society since its opening in 1849.

Within the hallowed grounds of Mount St. Lawrence Cemetery, amidst the weathered headstones and solemn monuments, stands a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in Irish history: the Manchester Martyrs Memorial. This monument honours three men – William Allen, Michael Larkin, and Michael O'Brien – who were executed in Manchester in 1867 for their involvement in the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB)

Located in the South Liberties area of Limerick City, Mount St. Lawrence Cemetery stands as a poignant testament to the city's history. Since its consecration in 1849, it has served as the final resting place for people from all walks of life, a silent chronicle of Limerick's rich and varied past.  

Limerick City & County Council acquired this site through a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) under the Derelict Sites Act 1990. This likely happened because the property was deemed derelict and detracting from the area's appearance.

New Zealander Askew One collaborated with Irish artist Maser to combine two unique techniques resulting in this amazing mural on Little William Street, Limerick.
