He used to go around with a hurley and sliotar and had his o neils shorts on the outside of his tracksuit. Ok fair enough I know technically he isnt ashop or anything but he was funny. Put the sliotar through the back window of a squad car once or twice. Nice chap.

I know its not years and years ago but it did used to be fun going across the red iron bridge and scabbing the coca cola factory lol.
Or if you went away fromt he red iron bridge on the tracks, a little bit down you would come to the mummy bridge, where some wino supposedly lived under it. Never seen him felt his presence as a child lol.

The sale in Peter France

[Kahless]

The big cranes and working container port on the North Quays.

When Arundle Square was a square. With Wimpy and Woolworths. I'm not imagining the latter, am I? My memory of it is a bit hazy, but I think there was one.

L&N in the city centre and the "Hyper."

Fitzmaurices in Georges Court, where Boots is now. I spent a lot of time in there.

[shapez]

Not from Waterford but I do remember these over the years...

- Dusty carpark where City Square stands now
- Quinnsworth
- 2 way traffic from clock tower up through red square, down by Wacky Apple and onto Cork Rd.
- Old road to Waterford from New Ross before existing one was built
- Roxy
- The Metroland
- B&L on the docks
- The Befey King (Where Abracadabra is now)
- The Infirmary when it was used for patients
- The old bridge with two way traffic
- Going out by Sally Pk. hoping the rocks didn't tumble down on top of the car before new road was built


I'll add more as I think of them...
