Butter‑market Cork, 1880

Cork in 1880 is a Victorian trading port built on the twin channels of the River Lee, its economy still shaped by butter exports, quayside steamers and the new spires of the cathedral. The walk moves from the harbour approach into the island city, past quays, covered market arcades, the Butter Exchange at Shandon and the pepper‑pot steeple, ending on a high riverside rampart looking over the channels and docks.

34 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Cork as it stood in 1880 (“History of Cork”).
