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).
