I was rambling about Cork City earlier this week when I came upon this old shop, Jerry Twomey & Sons. It has this beautiful old shop front and signage, I just had to venture inside.
When I entered I was met with a friendly smile and hello from Pat, the owner. It was a lovely old shop reminiscent of when I was a child and what those family run shops looked like, you see very few of them now. Pat is 72 years old and has spent his working life behind the counter, as his parents did before that, their small family shop is well over 100 years trading in that location. I hope the next time I’m in Cork Pat and his shop will still be there.
