Phibsborough Shopping Centre

Another of Dublin's mass concrete relics from the 60's, due for redevelopment in the near future. Surprisingly the existing tower will be retained, refurbished & reclad of course.

That says a lot about the robustness of the tower's construction; it obviously would have taken too long and be too costly to remove and so made more sense to retain it.

One of my earliest memories of Dublin is walking along this shopfront...my sister used to live just around the corner. I think we went to Eddie Rockets.

Bright lights, big city to a wee lad from Cavan.
