URBAN DECAY AND DEPRESSION IN CORK CITY [CASTLE STREET/NORTH MAIN STREET]

Looking through my photographs of Cork I have noticed that there is a large number of derelict and badly maintained buildings and sites.

28 August 2009: “A building on Castle Street in Cork City collapsed yesterday crushing a parked car but thankfully not hurting anyone.”

If you zoom you will notice a historic plaque: John George MacCarthy MP (1829-1892) was a solicitor in Cork and was an early member of the Home Rule movement and MP from 1874 until 1880.
