Cork Gazetteer IHTA Contact Sarah Gearty at [email protected] if you wish to cite this document in a publication IRISH HISTORIC TOWNS ATLAS Cork Draft gazetteer of topographical information 27 July 2012 The Irish Historic Towns Atlas, Royal Irish Academy wishes to acknowledge the financial assistance provided under the Built Heritage element of the Environmental Fund, Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht towards the production of this draft gazetteer. The Irish Historic Towns Atlas is a Royal Irish Academy research project (www.ihta.ie) 1 Contact Sarah Gearty at [email protected] if you wish to cite this document in a publication Introduction to draft This gazetteer is a preliminary working draft and has been compiled as part of work in progress on the topographical information section of the Irish Historic Towns Atlas (IHTA) of Cork city. The topographical information for Cork is being compiled by Máire Ní Laoi, who is working in conjunction with the editorial board and staff of the IHTA, Royal Irish Academy. Many of the references contained in the draft were collected and added by researcher Rhiannon Carey Bates from January to July 2012 as part of a research programme funded by the Environmental Fund (Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht). Note on sources The sources used are listed in the accompanying list of abbrevations/draft bibliography. They are a range of primary sources — maps, annals, calendars, newspapers, surveys — that contain topographical information on the city as a whole. Gina Johnson’s, The laneways of medieval Cork (Cork, 2002) is utilised as a supplementary secondary source in section 10 Streets. Note on draft The following topographical information is categorised into thirteen thematic sections (10 Streets, 11 Religion, 12 Defence, 13 Administration, 14 Primary production, 15 Manufacturing, 16 Trades and Services, 17 Transport, 18 Utilities, 19 Health, 20 Education, 21 Entertainment, memorials and societies, 22 Residence), which will be included in the published IHTA, Cork. References are derived directly from various primary sources (listed with their abbreviations in the bibliography) and relate to the built-up area of Cork at each of the dates referred to up to 1900. These are listed chronologically under the relevant feature entry. The entries under each heading, except for Streets, are grouped thematically: for example, mills in section 15 Manufacturing are listed together. Street names are listed in alphabetical order. The first entry for each street gives its most modern name, followed by a series of chronological references (named or unnamed) from a map or other record. House numbers listed are taken from the sources indicated and do not relate to the present system. Users are reminded that this is work in progress, and, in essence, is a distillation of references that have been associated with particular features. Further research and editorial work is required before bringing the IHTA, Cork to publication. As a result, some citations have yet to be linked with the relevant feature, locations have to be clarified, categorisation refined and cross-referencing completed. Likewise, it should be noted that the list of abbreviations is a draft bibliography and is subject to continuous editing. 2 Contact Sarah Gearty at [email protected] if you wish to cite this document in a publication 10 Streets Abbey Street Red Abby Lane 1726 (Carty).

Cork. ii AUTHORS NOTE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT When the Cork Constitution Club celebrated the centenary of its foundation I had the privilege of writing the history. Now I have been entrusted with updating that chronicle. While obviously the emphasis will be on the events of the last twenty-five years - the most momentous period in the history of rugby union - as a tribute to the founding fathers, the first chapter of the original history will yet again appear. While it would not be practical to include a detailed history of the first 100 years chapter two is a brief resume of the achievements of the first fifty years and likewise chapter three embraces the significant events of the second fifty years in the illustrious history of one of Ireland’s great sporting institutions. There follows the detailed history and achievements, and they were considerable, of the last twenty five years. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to many people for their help during the compilation of this book. In that regard I would particularly like to thank Noel Walsh, the man with whom I liaised during the writing of the book.

    25 Years Serving the Local Community Mayfield Matter s Mayfield Community Training Centre FREE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER, HIGHLIGHTING LOCAL NEWS St. Joseph’s Community Association ISSUE 64: Oct/Nov 2012 On 6th November, Mayfield Community Training Centre had an open day to celebrate 25 years of serv- Mayfield Banks Respond to Community Fears We return to the story of the two impending Bank closures planned for Mayfield. There is a palpable disappointment and resentment in the air all around the locality at the decisions taken by senior management at PTSB and AIB in this regard. Given the massive debts run up by our Banks during the “Celtic Tiger” years, these closures are not unexpected, though neither are they desirable. When Mayfield Matters contacted the Permanent Trustee Savings Bank (PTSB) for a comment, we were re-directed to its website. This offered nothing by way of apology to us in Mayfield, and indeed, lest we think that our branch is the only one for the chop, there will be fifteen other closures nationwide as well. Its version of good news is that; “There will be absolutely no change to your existing account(s) and all your account details will stay exactly the same”. If you have a PTSB account in Mayfield, you are directed to go to its North Main Street branch now, apparently for your convenience. The Credit Unions The picture with AIB is much clearer. Its local manager stressed that AIB has been building close links with the Post Office network for several years, seeking to share elements of its services with An Post.
