an odd place to find a tall one, as here behind the Holy Trinity friary on Fr. Matthew St., off South Mall - the mill has long gone
Cross-channel: old Beamish&Crawford stables – yes, stables! near St. Fin Barre's Cathedral
old Eye,Ear&Throat Hospital, Western Road
Connaught Avenue Boer War memorial: erected, so the inscription reads, in memory of the officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the County and City of Cork who lost their lives intheserviceoftheEmpire
