Overview of City Docks - Character Areas
This gives the City Docks a special significance to Cork as it reflects the origin and role of the City and the development of the city eastwards from the historic centre. These assets are listed in Volume 3 of this Plan and most are included on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage. 10.36 The Odlums mill and warehouse complex is on the RPS (PS856) and NIAH (20506406). The complex of buildings front onto Kennedy Quay / Mill Road / Marina Walk, and are a visual landmark in the docks area, being visible from many parts of the city. The buildings are architecturally distinctive, tall and remain largely intact. Objective 10.22 sets out the City Council’s objectives for its development. 10.37 The Ford Factory complex is a designated Architectural Conservation Area (see Volume 3: Specific Built Heritage Objectives). 10.38 The design of the quayside will need to appropriately frame those built heritage assets that front onto the sequence of key spaces on the River Lee, including the Ford Factory and Odlums buildings.
Authenticity in the Development of the City Docks: Built Heritage Strategy 10.34 The City Docks contains a wide range of built heritage assets that tell the story of the area, including: • The quay walls; • Port related buildings, including those at Custom House Quay and the Odlums building; • Railway buildings; • Industrial buildings, including the Ford Factory developed from 1917, and its internationally significant collection of buildings; and • Buildings that relate to the development of the Lower Glanmire Road. 10.35 There are many built heritage assets within the City Docks. Most of the structures considered to be of significance are former industrial architecture, railway and port related in origin, with some residential and commercial buildings.
