Was the Irish quarter where the bus station is now? Donnybrook and Charles Street areas?
ReplyDeleteI think that it became the Irish quarter at some point. The original Irish quarter was around Hamnett street, I believe, as there used to be Catholic services held at what is now Santander Bank.
ReplyDeleteI remember Hyde Irish Club. Was it on Ridling Lane?

And I seem to recall that it was popularly known as 'The knife and pistol'
Anyone know why?
ReplyDeleteThe Irish Club was on Ridling Lane. They had regular Free & Easy nights and artists on a Saturday.
