On the left is the former Somerset’s linen factory built in 1904 and thought to be the first reinforced-concrete framed building in Ireland. After lying vacant for a number of years it was converted to Somerset Studios at the time when “loft living” was fashionable. On the right is the multi-storey car park behind the multiplex cinema on the Dublin Road. (Note for concrete enthusiasts - it was the “Hennebique system”).
