Shandon Above the Shopfronts

Cork’s Pope Quay packs more character into two hundred metres than most cities manage in a mile. I was standing on the south bank with the River Lee between us, drawn initially by the sweep of that pedestrian footbridge. It’s a cl...

Cork’s Bell Tower from the Steepest Street

Shandon Bells as seen from the top of Patrick’s Hill, from the wall surrounding Bells Field.

The eight bells of Shandon Bells were cast in Gloucester, England, in 1750 and shipped to Cork. They’re tuned to play in the key of D major, and each bell has inscriptions including biblical verses and the names of local dignitaries from the time. Read More.

Keeping an Eye on the Youngsters Below

The tower of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells, towers over the surrounding buildings and is visible from the big wheel on Grand Parade.

Behind it is the North Cathedral and the distinctive roof of the Firkin Crane is off to the left. In the foreground is the brand-new Capitol building.

First time on the big wheel. Nice view from up top. Thanks Henry!

Red Brick and Stone

Following on from yesterday’s photo of Shandon Bells, here’s another one taken nine years earlier in 2007, on a day when it was about to rain, but the sun came out for one final glimpse of Cork before the wet enveloped the city.

You can see Shandon Bells, the North Cathedral, SS Peter & Paul’s Church and the presbytery attached to that church.

All taken from the roof of the car park on Grand Parade, but I think it’s blocked now. I’ll have a look this evening.

Cork’s Spiritual Heights

The historic spire of St. Anne’s Church, Shandon Bells, rises out of the mist, with the North Cathedral, the Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, behind it.

In the foreground is the roof of SS Peter & Paul’s Church and the nearby Presbytery.

This was photographed on December 10th, 2016. Just a day over 8 years ago. I think it’s not possible to photograph this scene now. The new Capitol building is in the way.

There was almost complete cloud cover the other night over Cork as we attempted to photograph the setting sun behind St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells, as it’s known locally.

A few minutes before the official sunset, the horizon caught on fire and briefly lit up. It didn’t last long, and the transition between daylight and night just meant the sky got darker and the air colder around us.

Shandon Bells and Houses

Shandon Bells, seen from a slightly different perspective than the one at Bell's Field we're used to. It's surrounded by houses and roads, and even by the nearby brewery, of which you can see a small portion of in this photo.
