THE KOREAN TABLE

by

MANOR STREET IN STONEYBATTER

RAMEN CO RESTAURANT NEARBY

I lived in Korea for a short period of time in the early 1980s and developed an interest in Korean food. However, I never got around to trying the Korean Table restaurant on Manor Street so I paid a visit today just to check it out … I hope to have a meal there this weekend.

Owner’s statement: “Our restaurant didn’t come out overnight. The Korean Table, which started at a food market in Dublin with the mission of making Irish people feel true Korean food, is now offering you the best Korean food at an inexpensive price at a Stoneybatter, which is a little closer to you.”

Korean Table does not accept reservations in order to provide equal dining opportunities to all guests who visit the restaurant.

PEEBLES’ BUILDINGS MANOR STREET DUBLIN

by

RAMEN CO RESTAURANT

What caught my attention was the “D – Peebles’ Buildings” plaque on the was above the restaurant.

Peebles’ Buildings is a complex of two tenement buildings located in Stoneybatter. They were built in the late 19th century by the Dublin Artisan Dwellings Company, a private body that was established to provide affordable housing for working-class people. The buildings are named after Sir Arthur Peebles, who was a philanthropist and a member of the board of the Dublin Artisan Dwellings Company.

Peebles’ Buildings are two of the best-preserved examples of tenement housing in Dublin. They are four stories high and each building contains 32 apartments. The apartments are small and basic, but they were well-designed for the time and they provided a much-needed improvement in living conditions for many working-class families.

Peebles’ Buildings were originally occupied by a mix of Irish and English families. The residents were mainly working-class people, such as labourers, factory workers, and shopkeepers. The buildings were also home to a number of small businesses, such as grocery shops and pubs.

Peebles’ Buildings remained in use as tenement housing until the 1970s. In the 1980s, the buildings were refurbished and converted into social housing.

WHERE THE PIGEONS LIVE

by

MANOR STREET IN THE STONEYBATTER AREA OF DUBLIN

30 Manor street was entered on Derelict Sites Register on 19th July 2016.

In October 2020 it was reported, by local media, that an elderly man who faced a civil action for causing a nuisance in his locality by feeding wild pigeons at his home in Dublin has made settlement terms with the council. The feral birds had flocked to a rooftop on Manor Street and had taken up residency. Their droppings on the footpaths and beside homes in Stoneybatter led to locals making complaints. In may 2022 it was announced that Dublin City Council had withdrawn the civil action.

THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL IN STONEYBATTER

AS SEEN ON MANOR STREET

If you say that the writing is on the wall, you mean that there are clear signs that a situation is going to become very difficult or unpleasant. However, I have decided to be optimistic, how about you?
