  • The History of MUNSTER HALL 1899 - Today
    The History of MUNSTER HALL 1899 - today 1899 - 1913 - 1925 - 1973 - 1905 1919History1962 today 1905 - 1919 - 1962 - 1912 1925 1973 Preface One of the great things about working in an old building like ours (apart from the drafty corners) are the stories that we hear everyday across the counter. And so, a couple of years ago, we decided to find out as much as possible about one of Limerick's old Halls. The street We get asked all the time ' where does the street name come from' as it's difficult both to spell and pronounce if you have not heard it before. In 1760, Limerick was proclaimed an open city and the demolition of the medieval walls began. Around this time the building of the Georgian town commenced. The main leaders connected with the movement to create Newtown Pery were Edmund Sexton Pery, who owned most of the land, his brother-in-law, Sir Henry Hartstonge, the Russells and the Arthurs. Hartstonge Street is named after Bruff born Henry, a Irish politician, and his wife Lady Lucy Hartstonge, who was renowned for her charitable work in Limerick including the founding of St. John's Hospital. The streetscape Pre 1850, there was no definition between Upper and Lower - it was simply called Hartstonge Street. Upper Hartstonge Street, like Barrington Street and Upper Mallow Street, housed the wealthier families. Lower Hartstonge Street, which was sandwiched between Newtown Pery and the river, presented more a modest housing arrangement. There were families living here as well as boarding houses for unmarried workers and trades people.
