Grottos around the city

dazftw · 26-05-2017 06:34PM #1

Hi everyone

I'm trying to find the locations of grottos around the city for a photography project. I know of several already but they are quite common so i'm sure theres some i'm missing. Does anyone know of some locations?

Ive setup a public map on google maps to which you can add the location, or you can just post the address here and I can update it myself.

Thanks

Wycherly Terrace off College Road. At the Bandon Road end of it.

I'm not able to add it to the map by the way.

Cheers guys, people are adding others too! I appreciate it.

Also if theres ones outside the city that you know of, thats fine as well.

Sorry on phone so not accessing link - there is one there by the Heineken brewery ( I am assuming still standing and not vandalized !) ; go up the 99 steps and about half way there is a path that will being you to it when you walk across the field - many a May evening spent down there in the 80's saying the rosary - nuts when you think about it !! I remember there was a big mass there at some stage as well said by the bishop when they did it up and build a path from the actual road up.

There's a big one up on Blarney Road, by St Anne's hospital. Head straight up Blarney Street and you'll come right to it.

Dalton's Ave (behind Coal Quay, down alley next to Con Dennehy's ) has a big grotto type mural. Pretty interesting actually.

Or to quote a Cork City Councillor, grotto type muriel - http://readingthesigns.weebly.com/blog/just-because-that-is-how-it-is-done-in-cork-does-not-always-make-it-right 9208341_orig.jpg?394
