April 22nd 2010 - 'P.F.Garnett & Co. Ltd.', Duke Street
Took this photograph in Duke Street, I love the old sign above this merchant's store; 'Cork Importers and Brewers Merchants', The grey Georgian style door alongside the shop fits perfectly, making this 'preserved' scene of by-gone days all the more vivid. Even the more recent 'street art' graffitti on the hoardings seems to, strangely, fit into the bigger picture. Most of Duke Street has been renovated and is looking marvellous, but how good would it be if this little piece of the past could remain as a testament of our city's history?
