    Hi
    Can anyone advise if 28 Moore street, Mc Alesters butchers is still there. This butchers was in business during the events of 1916 and it would be a shame if the building has not been persevered. I am aware that there are issues in relation to the whole street but I am not aware of which building's still stand. My relatives owned this building and it would be a shame to destroy it or other buildings on this street. Moore street is a vital part of our heritage.


    please advise

    thank you
    Star

    Thom's 1917 shows numbers 28 and 28a in ruins
    In 1914 no. 28 is listed as Thomas Byrne, delph & china merch., and 28a as The Maypole dairy

    a Charles McAlester victualler is listed in Thom's 1953 at 28 (No 28a is a watchmaker) and skipping back in 1923 number 28 is listed as the Moore street meat supply stores. Both 28 and 28a are listed as 'in ruins' in 1921

    added :
    1930 - Joseph Plunkett, victualler
    1938 - Joseph Plunkett, victualler
    1943/4 - Charles McAlester victualler (28a is a chemist)
    1949 - Charles McAlester victualler
