Moore Street - The Next Generation
Originally uploaded by petergriffin_1892.
Moore street is home to one of Dublin's markets, and is probably the best known of all of them being just off one of the main shopping streets (Henry Street).
Lots of fruit & veg stalls, fishmongers...mostly run by old women who's families have probably traded there for generations.
And that's the sad thing, there really is no one to carry on the tradition & seemingly it's beginning to die out. With that goes a part of Dublin's heritage, and another bit of the city I grew up in fades away forever.
There are plans to redevelop this area of the city centre, and while it'll probably be all nice & shiny it will probably also be pretty bland, solul-less & geared towards commercial gain.
