Some beautiful 1969/1961/1987 pictures of the Cumberland Street market due for de-designation by Dublin City Council if no submissions are made to protect it by 28 March. A central part of women and ordinary people’s history in the inner city.

Fair dues to Mrs Margaret Kilbride, hah?
Indeed:
Was that ten years continuously?
There’s a market on Cumberland street! What do they sell, bulletproof vests?
everything – i once picked up a hammond organ for a 20 quid which i salvaged for the amp and leslie speaker. heavy b@stard of a thing, but i digress. i did my anthropology thesis on that market back in 1999. it was fascinating in a way to see how a commodity’s value changes from having definite cash price at 8am, a negotiable worth at 10am, and functional use to whoever wants it at noon. i didn’t know it was still going but it’s great oul craic, if you’ve never been.
is that rubbish theory?
it sure is brother. i’ve never come across anyone else who read about it – i’m fistbumping you right now :)
ha!
actually, yonks ago, a tout outside the olympia told me about it
So…. should turn up at noon then :)
Fair play Scottser, sounds like enjoyable piece to have worked on.
‘I’
tsk!
They sell poo and whatever isn’t sold is left on the street for DCC to clean up.
