Becoming Cannocks
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.

Quinlan Street
Quinlan Street is one of the shortest principal streets in Limerick City, measuring approximately eighty-five feet at its centre. Located within the historic Georgian Quarter, it forms an important connection between the Crescent, at the southern end of O’Connell Street, and O’Connell Avenue. Developed between the 1820s and 1840s, the street is lined with distinctive multi-storey red-brick Georgian townhouses built over basements. Its unusual layout means that one side is longer than the other. The street was named after Thomas Quinlan, the builder responsible for the original houses at numbers 1 and 2, preserving his contribution to Limerick’s urban development.
