Limerick 2030 An Economic and Spatial Plan for Limerick Main Georgian Area This area to the south of the City Centre core comprises the best preserved Georgian urban fabric in the City. It extends between Pery Square to the east and Henry Street to the west. This Georgian stock ranges from large double fronted single houses to smaller 3 storey blocks. The highest quality Georgian houses are to be found in the vicinity of Pery Square, mainly 4 storey in size. There are three important public spaces including the urban square at The Crescent on O’Connell Street, and Baker Place to the east adjacent to Pery Street. Both have had public realm improvements in recent years. The other important public space is the People’s Park to the south east of the area fronting on to Pery Square. The Park is also home to the City Art Gallery at the junction of Pery Square and Upper Mallow Street. There are a number of other important buildings including The Belltable Theatre at 69 O’Connell Street, and the Angela Ashes Museum in the former school building on Barrington Street. The vast majority of Georgian properties in this area are in use but their condition varies considerably. Most have been converted from their original residential use to include small business uses at ground floor level, with the upper floors largely unused or at best under-used. A more limited number are being used for residential purposes, but primarily to accommodate social housing. The overall condition of the Georgian properties is extremely poor. June 2013 90
