This historic reconstruction shows George Street, Limerick, as a lively Edwardian thoroughfare around 1900, framed by tall commercial buildings, shopfronts, awnings and gas lamps. Horse-drawn carts, traps and carriages move along the worn roadway, while pedestrians gather on pavements, pause outside premises and cross between traffic. The red-brick façades, ornate stonework and active street frontage suggest a confident shopping and business district at the heart of the city. The wide perspective emphasises George Street as one of Limerick’s principal routes, where trade, transport, conversation and public movement shaped daily life before motor vehicles changed the city’s rhythm forever.
