Concern over plan to uproot landmark

CONCERNS were raised last night about plans to move one of Cork’s best known landmarks from its century-old home.

The historic “toll house”, located in the centre of St Luke’s Cross on the city’s northside, is to be relocated onto a proposed plaza which will be built nearby as part of a major revamp of the entire St Luke’s area.

The structure was built as one of the key exhibits for The Great Exhibition in 1902 and was moved to St Luke’s shortly afterwards.
