The Clock House, Mallow, County Cork

The Clock House, Mallow, County Cork

A view of the Clock House in Mallow, County Cork, in 1936. The photograph can be accurately dated due to the advertisement for the motion picture ‘Craig’s Life’ visible outside the Central Cinema to the left of the print. The film, starring Rosalind Russell and John Boles, was released in 1936. The Clock House was built around 1855, by Sir Charles Jephson-Norreys (1799-1888), a local MP and an amateur architect. His creation was said to be inspired by a trip he had undertaken to the Alps. The Clock was brought from the tower of the Old Mallow Castle. The bell was cast at Millerd Street in Cork. The bell tower became dangerous and was removed in about 1970, but was restored in 1995.

The Church Street Tenement Disaster (1913)

On the evening of 2 September 1913 two overcrowded tenement buildings at 66 and 67 Church Street collapsed. The two buildings were situated opposite the Capuchin Friary on the street. Of those trapped in the buildings, seven died (including three children) and many others were left seriously injured. Over 100 people were left homeless and destitute. The tragedy, occurring at a time of heightened political and labour unrest, highlighted the dreadful conditions of many of the buildings in Dublin, both in terms of the physical fabric of the dwellings and the endemic overcrowding in inner city tenements. A report on the disaster was presented to the British Parliament in February 1914, but with the outbreak of war in the summer of that year housing conditions in Irish capital ceased to be a political priority.
