A History of Cork - A Proud City, Ireland 1963

[@petergibson2318]

He could have mentioned how close Cork is to sea-level. Only 4 centuries ago Patrick Street and the Grand Parade and the South Mall were esturine rivers. At high tide you could row down (the now) Patrick Street in your boat, turn left and row along the Grand Parade , turn left again and row along the South Mall. All reclaimed now....but terrifyingly near the High-Tide mark still. The street in front of the Mercy Hospital...Henry Street... was also a river back then.

[@petergibson2318]

P.S. The winding shape of Patrick Street was not an architect's fancy design....the street follows the route of the old river.

@@petergibson2318 ah yes that makes sense

My ancestors came from Country Cork in the 1890’s. They were O’Connors. Some went to New York and some to Minnesota. We have a family cemetery here in Minnesota.

Some went east to England

"The synthetic world of cinema and television....." "The civil war without guns...... That poisoned and revolutionized our society." There's a wise man.

My Dad`s ancestors left from there for Australia in the day

[@waynemcauliffe2362]

@Eoin F Nah mate my ancestors from there were free settlers sadly.I`d love some convicts.

[@lorrivaughn9066]

Mine did too but came to the US, the O’Connors.

A lovely city.

I never knew J.J. Horgan made it onto TV. He had a long career & wrote a lot. He was in charge of the Cork harbour board.

[@georgel74]

Never knew there was a racetrack at the Ford site..

[@Daniel-OConnell]

Centre park Rd. is a road through the middle of that racetrack. The track eventually made way for the Ford tractor plant.

Who where the Cramer family from Cork? That's my grandfather's father's side DNA through a man name Ambrose Nicolas Yates (Cramer) he took up a man that wasn't his father last name which was (Yates) so my DNA & last name should be of a Cramer.

[@bretthess6376]

You haven't met me yet. Under my bucolic façade of jaded kindliness lies a true man of Cork and Ireland.
