I remember as a child in the early 70's walking the cobbled stone streets of the Thomas Street area that still had the old steel tram rails embedded in them....looking at those photos...little had changed until that point. Wonderful pictures!

Queen Victoria visited Cork during the famine in 1848 and a million "Irish" people turned out to greet her waving Union flags. The Queen in her diary wrote how moved she was by their love. Cobh was named Queens Town in her honour. We never acknowledge that far more British people came to Ireland than Irish people to Britain. Add then the millions of Irish who left for the US or died of poverty, and you increase the concentration of British people in Ireland. Look at the surnames of those in Parliament in London and Dublin. It should be no surprise that we have become just as British as the British themselves.

@@connoroleary591 A city under British occupation doesn't make a city "British". What you're referring to are the archetypal facets of imperialism. I recently saw London decked out in tricolours, swamped in Irish culture and symbolism, and thousands greeting our dignitaries as they walked the streets during the St Patrick's Day festivities. Did that make London an "Irish city" on the day in question? Hardly. A million people in then "Kingstown"? That's a very dubious figure. The entire population of Dublin at the time wasn't even close to a million. There was widespread opposition at the time to the visit, with such prominent figures such as W.B Yeats being adamantly opposed to it. If you wish to reference Joyce's cultural or political allegiances, perhaps you might consider that he came from a nationalist family who were ardent supporters of Parnell. His opposition to the power and influence of the Catholic Church in the country was first born from the Church's condemnation of Parnell and the role that that played in his downfall. It was Joyce who also coined the phrase "Tiocfaidh ar Lá".
