THE OLD TOLL BOOTH AT ST LUKE'S CROSS NOW A POP-UP FLOWER SHOP
ST LUKE'S CROSS IN THE SUMMERHILL AREA OF CORK [THE OLD TOLL BOOTH IS NOW A POP-UP FLOWER SHOP]
The toll booth at St. Luke's Cross in Cork is now a flower shop every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
This disused toll booth is an interesting reminder of the city's social and economic history. Its octagonal-plan and small scale make it an eye-catching addition to the streetscape. Situated at a busy junction, it forms a group of street furniture with the adjacent water trough and post box.

THE PHOTO DIARY IS NOT LIMITED TO CORK AS I ONLY VISIT THE CITY ONCE EVERY YEAR AND 2020 MAY BE AN EXCEPTION. I AM BASED IN DUBLIN BUT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS I VISIT BELFAST, LIMERICK, GALWAY, KILKENNY AND WATERFORD AND USUALLY DEVOTE A WEEK TO PHOTOGRAPHING EACH OF THE CITIES IN QUESTION
