    That had something similar in Herbert Park, the good auld days eh, plumbing, trains, trams ;)

    My Great Grandmother had the fishing rights (salmon mainly) on that same stretch of the Lee –
    From the Lee Fields down to the North Gate Bridge

    1. Janet, dreams of big guns

      did she cook it up for you ?
      My Dad used to make me stuffed brown trout he used to catch in the embers of a fire with blackened spuds , unforgettable

        what did he stuff it with Janet? and did he par boil the spuds or were they small ones? These details are vital :)

          quite big spuds and then you’d just ease of the black jacket and cover the smokey floury insides in butter and scallions, he would stuff the fish with button mushrooms , more scallions and a bit of parsley and more butter,
          my Dad’s secret ingredient is massive amounts of butter !
          Washed down with Barry’s tea from a flask full of sugar, why does tea taste best outside from a flask ?
          He would smoke a Sweet Afton ,” to keep the life’s away ” and I’d make sure to sit in the smoke

        Never met the girl Janie

        She was long gone by 1967

        And all that activity – fishing and boat building/ repair on the City end of the Lee was gone by the late 30s
        Well, what was left of it after the Black n’Tans and the *Burning of Cork

        It was also Pre War, and there was more money to be made in the Factories. Namely Fords

        * my Granda was always certain that they were among first to throw up the Stars & Bars – along the North Mall over to Pope’s Quay

      Janey Mac V , I would have never thought , from reading your comments , that you had a bourgeois
      background. ; )
