Victorian wrought iron balustrades, Limerick Boat Club (1870’s)

Lovely ornate wrought iron balustrades made during the 1870’s. These are located at the Limerick Boat Club next to Sarsfield bridge. The stairway is modern but the original balustrades were retained. The structure in the background is the Limerick 1916 Monument dedicated to the martyrs of the 1916 Rising.

 

The high-rise buildings behind are hotels, of which many were built over the past ten years and now blight the Limerick riverside landscape.
