c.130s
The 130s section gathers all articles and images assigned to this period within Emerald Archives. Together, these records show how developments within Limerick interacted with political, economic, social and cultural changes across Ireland and the wider world. They reveal how public decisions, employment, transport, trade, conflict, migration, technology, religion and changing customs reached ordinary homes and communities. Some evidence records major events, while other material preserves quieter details of streets, workplaces and family life. As additional records are published and classified, this decade will expand automatically, providing a fuller picture of Limerick experience during these important years for future visitors.

George Street
Before becoming Cannocks, the premises at 134 George Street, now O’Connell Street, housed a successful drapery business dating from around 1814. By the mid-nineteenth century, the shop was operated by Cumine and Mitchell and was regarded as a high-class retail establishment. In 1850, Scottish businessmen George Cannock and John Arnott purchased the property, establishing Cannocks and Company, which developed into one of Limerick’s best-known department stores. The business remained a prominent feature of the city’s commercial life for generations. In 1980, the store was sold to Penneys, which continues to occupy the historic site today on O’Connell Street in Limerick.
