The Hive Iron Works closed in 1935. The building was then occupied by the Hanover Shoe Company who were also big employers until he 1960s when they ceased trading.
The Hive Iron Works was the most important iron works in Cork during the nineteenth century. The business was founded by Thomas Addison Barnes in 1800, but by 1819 it had been transferred to the Perrott family after whom Perrott Avenue is named.
The overall business declined during the latter part of the nineteenth century but Iron Works was producing iron castings well into the twentieth century.
Works cast in the Hive Iron Works may still be seen in many places around Cork city and County. The lion, featured on the Perrott family coat of arms, on the top of the building was cast by Richard Perrott in 1845. It should be noted that the lion can be seen on the roof of the nearby Labour Exchange building.
Richard Perrott married Hannah Mary Barnes in 1815. Richard and Hannah lived at Hayfield Manor, now a five star hotel, and they had thirteen children between 1816 and 1843. Richard went on to become the sole owner of the Hive Iron Works in place of his Father-in-law.

J. O’DONOVAN AND SONS LTD FEATURING SOME STREET ART OR THE SHAMROCK ON BACK STREET IN PASSAGE WEST
Initially I could not determine if this was a shop or a pub so I went inside.
Detached gable-fronted single-bay three-storey former house, built c.1890, having timber and render shopfront to front (north-west) and open fronted lean-to canopy addition to rear (south-east). Currently in use as shop.
Set on a prominent island site in the centre of the town, at a road junction, this eye-catching building makes a significant contribution to the urban fabric. The delightful render embellishments add greatly to its character and charm. Possibly incorporating fabric of an earlier building, it would appear from map evidence to have originally been part of a terrace.
Passage West (locally known as “Passage”)is a port town in County Cork, Ireland, situated on the west bank of Cork Harbour, some 10 km south-east of Cork city. The town has many services, amenities and social outlets. Passage West was designated a conservation area in the 2003 Cork County Development Plan.
The buildings in the town centre are mainly late 18th and early 19th century, while the architecture of nearby Glenbrook and Monkstown is mainly from the later Victorian period. In 1690, at the time of the landing of the Duke of Marlborough with his army to lay siege to Cork, Passage was described as an insignificant fishing village.
