THE TEMPLE INN PUB IN BALLINTEMPLE VILLAGE BLACKROCK ROAD CORK
I had to walk back to Cork City Centre from Blackrock as the bus due at 11:09AM failed to turn up and the next one would not arrive (if ever) for an hour. I should mention that my information was supplied by two people standing at the stop.
Just as I arrived in the Village of Ballintemple I saw two buses which surprised me as no bus had passed me as I walked along Blackrock Road.
The Blackrock Road runs through the heart of the village which has a post office, some small shops, and two public houses – The Venue and The Temple Inn (known locally as Longboats).
Ballintemple is a suburb of Cork city, Ireland. The village is situated on the east side of the city with its limits extending to the River Lee and the village of Blackrock further to the east. Originally, Ballintemple was a separate village but today it has been enclosed by the city.
George Boole, the mathematician and inventor of Boolean algebra, lived in Ballintemple during the nineteenth century whilst professor at University College Cork. He died in December 1864, after catching pneumonia as the result of a rain storm whilst walking the four miles between his house and the university to give a lecture.
THE BOTTLE BOY – VALLENCE & MCGRATH OR CONNORS REIMAGINED
This caught me by surprise as there has not been a new pub on the North Wall Quay for a very long time and all that existed disappeared over an extended period of time. The last remaining was Vallence & McGrath which was established in 1908. If what I say is incorrect please correct me.
The owners describe their new business as follows: The Bottle Boy began life in 1860, and was primarily known as a Spirit Grocers. A quirk of a Spirit Grocers was that you couldn’t sit down and beer was sold in bottles brought to you by The Bottle Boy. Whilst we’ve retained tonnes of the original detail – like the cornices, fireplaces, flooring – we’ve added in cosy snugs and lots of seating, perfect for a pint of plain.
The Bottle Boy is actually within the Mayson Hotel complex and it is in fact the Vallence & McGrath pub which has been renovated.
The original building where Vallence & McGrath were based was described in 2011 as follows: “This building is a late Victorian townhouse with a public house inserted to the ground floor. The house retains its original fenestration pattern, roof materials and overall composition. Now derelict, the panelled shutters are visible and suggest an intact interior to the upper levels. Now standing as the last remaining residential structure on North Wall Quay, this former house thus has added significance. It was also a popular meeting place for the local community until quite recently.”
In February 2014 a man of no fixed abode was brought before Dublin District Court and remanded in custody for a week. He has been charged with the murder of Polish national Jacek Kozakiewick, 44, at the derelict pub on North Wall Quay. Mr Kozakiewick was one of five people squatting in Vallance & McGrath, known locally as Connors, a derelict pub on the North Wall Quay in Dublin.
