The old bridge has changed unbelievably with the flood protection work they've done, doesn't work too well though. I remember when the water used to go as high as the emigrants rest. I remember the chip van that used to be by the grotto used to do savage food!

yeh the chip van over the bridge and poor tracy phelan r.i.p the mwere the days

Hi Ponster, I love clonmel out of all the places i lived in Ireland. The place has lots of charachter and beautiful arches and buildings not just a boring one streat up and one down kind of town. Everything is there, best restaurants, bars, entertainment and a shopping paradise for shop acholics

It was short lived because of it's notoriety.
It's been derelict since then (early nineties).Anyone ever drink there?

It was one mad place ran by a mad owner

That was Noel O Briens pub, He was off his game, He would put on a judges wig and start hitting the hammer off the bar counter, He used to go to the real court below and act as a solicitor. He was no fool though.

I was thinking back to Clonmel when i was a child. My mother would walk in to Clonmel, from near Lisronagh.We used to have a donkey, but he was stolen. I seem to recall a shop that was dark and dingy, that had a lot of lamp shades. I think the lady that owned it was called May Fahy? I cant remember any other shops so i think i may have been left there while my mother done her shopping. Then the long walk home. I left there when i was 12 in 1958, it was 40 years before i got back home for a visit, but after walking to Clonmel so many times i knew where to find my old house, I dont suppose anyone on here remembers that shop.

I have a feeling the shop you are talking about could be the one at Parnell Street? Paintings etc in the window?

Denmeads?

[kilmore14]

I think the shop was in upper gladstone street, i dont remember paintings, just lampshades, which didnt impress me at the time.

Denmeads was run by a May Denmead, likely not Fahy. The shop, Denmeads, was at Lower Parnell street opposite the current credit union.

My favourite shop was the Greenie on the Narrow Street. Gr8 sweets. It was opposite Miss McGraths (well a few doors up from it).

I also remember when Five Star was on O'Connell Street. I guess that must have been the 70's or early 80's. Winstons was on the other side up near Moroneys.
