| Description |
O'Connell Street (Sráid Uí Chonaill in Irish) is Limerick's Main Thoroughfare. It was previously known as George's Street until it was renamed after Daniel O'Connell. Shops on O'Connell Street include Penneys, Debenhams and Brown Thomas. The George Hotel is also located on O'Connell Street as well as a number of renowned restaurants including The Texas Steakout and Luigi Malones (now closed). Originally the street was lined by uniform Georgian style townhouses, however from the 1950s onwards due to accidental damages from fire, neglect and poor planning by the city authorities a lot of the Georgian heritage has been lost on the northern end of the street around the retail core and has had an overall negative impact on the appearance of the street. Notable architectural losses include the facades of Cannock's Department store and its landmark clock tower (now Penney's), Todd's Department Store (now Brown Thomas) and Cruises Hotel (now Cruises Street) amongst many more. Nevertheless, some of the finest examples Georgian townhouse architecture in Ireland still survive on the southern end and along the Crescent area of the street. |
