Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This authoritative guide to the architecture of County Cork covers all sites and buildings of merit, great and small. Comprehensive and easy to use, this guide covers the architectural riches of Ireland's largest county. The many atmospheric castles and tower houses include Carrigadrohid, Lohort, and Kanturk; among later country houses, Kilshannig and Fota represent Irish Georgian architecture at its best. Coastal towns such as Kinsale and Youghal are built on Viking and Norman foundations. Many of the architectural highlights are in the city of Cork, where the Georgian streets and quays are diversified by grand neoclassical public buildings, presided over by the Gothic Revival masterpiece of St. Fin Barre's Cathedral. The strategic importance of Cork harbor is reflected in its diverse fortifications, especially those of the Stuart, Hanoverian, and Victorian periods"--Publisher's website

Download or read book The Cork International Exhibition 1902 1903 written by Daniel Breen and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this accessible and attractive book, beautiful illustrations accompany an involving contextualization of life in Ireland's Cork City at the beginning of the 20th century. Focusing on the "International Exhibition of Manufactures, Arts, Products and Industries," a monumental event which opened its doors in the summer of 1902 and which Cork City has not paid witness to before or since, local historians Daniel Breen and Tom Spalding provide an enlightening account of an Irish city during a time when civic and cultural life was celebrated in the spirit of the age, and not obscured by the divisive politics that severely marked the preceding century and following decade. The book provides a picture of Edwardian Cork, going beyond reportage to instill a real sense of the age. The International Exhibition was emblematic of this remarkably cooperative period, seeing individuals of strongly opposing political backgrounds working in unison and interacting with a huge array of international exhibitors from as far away as Russia, China, and Turkey. As an exhibition devoted to art and industry, the Cork International Exhibition acted as a focal point that expanded upon contemporary art, architecture, music, sports, and more. Filled with colorful illustrations of archival material, this elegant book presents a complete picture of the astonishing scale and vibrancy of this immense occasion in Ireland's social history. Exhibitions of this kind were showcased in major global cities, such as London, Paris, Glasgow, St. Louis, and Chicago. The fact that it came to a burgeoning city such as Cork, ahead of Belfast or Dublin, was of historic importance within Ireland.

This preface serves as an introduction to a city that prides itself on its unique identity, resilient spirit, and rich cultural tapestry. Cork's charm lies not only in its picturesque landscapes and historical architecture but also in its people, who are known for their warmth and hospitality. As Ireland's second-largest city, Cork has maintained a distinctive character that sets it apart from Dublin, its bigger sibling to the north. The city boasts a proud maritime heritage and a thriving culinary scene, spearheaded by the historic English Market—a gastronomic haven that has been at the heart of Cork's daily life since the 18th century. The city streets hum with the energy of lively pubs, music sessions, and an arts scene that punches well above its weight. My eBook aims to explore Cork through various lenses—its winding streets, its educational institutions like University College Cork, its rebellious past, and its vibrant present. Whether you are a visitor seeking to understand the allure of this city or a resident rediscovering its nooks and crannies, this narrative will guide you through the life and soul of Cork. From its historical roots as a monastic settlement to its status as a bustling urban center, Cork encapsulates a spirit of independence and creativity. This preface invites you to delve into the story of Cork, to explore its landmarks, engage with its people, and experience the dynamic atmosphere that makes the city of Cork truly unique.
Download or read book Atlas of Cork City written by John Crowley and published by Atlas. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of Cork city is traced through a wide-ranging series of texts, and through a rich tapestry of images, including photographs, archival material, satellite images, and artwork. * The atlas provides the reader with one of the most comprehensive collection of historic maps on Cork. * It brings together for the first time specialists from a wide range of disciplines (including geographers, historians, and archaeologists), who explore the city and its development over time. * Lavishly illustrated, the atlas offers the reader a timely and unique guide to Cork and its transformation. A unique project, marking Cork's designation as European Capital of Culture in 2005, the Atlas provides the reader with a range of perspectives on the city and its development over time. It is not an atlas in the conventional sense, as it is not solely reliant on maps, though there are many of these, both historical and specially commissioned for the volume. The initial chapters place the city in its environmental setting. Subsequent chapters trace its physical and cultural development over time. With over fifty contributors from a wide range of disciplines offering forty chapters and a fascinating series of case studies, the range is remarkable and the topics covered often surprising. Over 200 maps cover everything from geology, through evolving street patterns, to the distribution of Gaelic Athletic Association clubs. Given its significant maritime heritage, Cork has been shaped by both external and internal influences, and the cityscape bears the imprint of the various peoples who have lived and settled there. This is not just one story, but a myriad of stories, some better known than others, but all contributing to the making and remaking of the city--a city continually in transition. The atlas also provides its readers and planners with an opportunity to reflect in a more informed way on Cork's future development.

Cork is more kefir cocktails than Tanora these days; Dublin reckons it's like Berlin because it has two intersecting tram lines.

The second city gets a bit of a roasting too though. Because if there's one thing worse than a Dub, it's a Cork person who reckons he lives in paradise, boy.
