Old house off Tullow Street
Anyone care to put a date on this house? This is a rare picture of a house in a back yard behind a shop in Tullow Street. It has probably never been seen by the general public for decades as the entrance is well concealed by a pair of large coach doors which are very rarely opened.  (Photo M. Brennan)

On the right there is the Ritz Cinema and next door is Crotty's Bakery. The clock on the left is advertising Kings Lounge. Image taken c.1980's. The car is a Peugeot 305 which came out in 1982.
