6. PRIORITY PROJECTS
Phases of Historic Use 1. A space formed at the southern end of Shandon Street marking its adjacency to a key gateway into the old City acros the North Gate Bridge 2. In the 19th century, any noticeable public space at the southern end of Shandon Street disappeared with development extending down Shandon Street and joining up with the North Gate Bridge crossing. At the same time, a triangular building known as the Shambles was constructed at the corner of the junction with Blarney Street. 3. The current public space at the southern end of Shandon Street was formed after a block of buildings were removed leaving just a few buildings that sat to the west of Brown’s Hill. A water fountain was introduced at the centre of this new space, becoming a key gathering point. 4. The Shambles were demolished in the early 20th century, and a fenced-off grassland marked the building’s footprint until new housing was constructed, resulting in the present hard landscaped space.
