I remember them giving out some poxy cocktail sausages in Gorbys around the same time, and for the same reasons.


It was a bit of a joke though, one lad would walk through with about ten sausages, people would take one or two off him, that was it then, i.e. a pure token gesture!

Would give anything to see an old picture of the inside of the Savoy or Queens Old Castle. Can only barely remember either of them. I'm old enough to remember them but hardly ever went in there.

Anyways. Another one.

€2 Store on Oliver Plunkett street.

That was a clothes shop for middle aged women from the country. Can't remember the name now.

Ah. Didn't know that. Thought it was a bar directly before this.

Caseys furniture used to be on that side in that building first I think.

Was thinking about the Oliver Plunkett Tavern but I must be a few years out

Used to have steps going down into it from the street. Did food.

Atkins Gardening Shop I think. At least I remember they were there for a long time. Not sure if McD's were straight after them.

Atkins is correct . Mac D opened earlier than 89 .. I'd be guessing In and around 85 .

Was it a pretty large shop with ride-on lawn mowers etc? I remember going into such a shop about 30 years ago or so with my dad on weekends, I can get that garden centre type smell now as I'm thinking of it :pac:

I suspect that one was on Camden Quay - now Camden Palace, formerly the temporary Circut Court while they spent about 15 years doing up the courthouse! It was also Atkins and definitely had ride on lawn mowers.

The business was Atkin's MCKenzie or McKenzie Atkin's.
It is still known as The Atkin's building.

Pavilion closed in 1989, HMV opened the following year. Nothing in between.
