: |
What
has become of the old heart of Dublin?
The lament for a disappearing Dublin has been loud and insistent
for years now, the doomsayers stating that its unique heart
was disappearing, old and familiar shops, pubs and businesses
falling to development's surge. They were more than a little
previous. Venerable and unchanging, family-run businesses are
trading in streets wide and narrow all across the city. Some
have been around for a modest few generations, some for hundreds
of years.
Trade
Names has the stories of 66 bsuinesses that have held onto
to what they were, who have seen change come and go and lived
to tell the tale. Put together they supply everything a city's
people could want or need, from hats to haircutting, meat,
flowers, furniture, bikes, books, burials, shoes, music, clothes,
locks, gravestones, fuel...
Taken
from Rose Doyle's popular Irish Times series, Trade Names
shows how Dublin will always live on, as long as there's meat
to be bought, locks fitted, clothes altered or gravestones
engraved.
With
photographs by Irish Times photographers, this unique book
is a tribute to the Dubliners who have lasted longer than
most.
E20
and widely available in bookshops.
