Photographic celebration of docklands

THE history of Cork is built around the River Lee and the access to the open sea.

The Last Days of the Cork Docklands by Patrick Cummins is a photographic celebration of Cork docklands that captures the people and places in present form. The docklands have played a central part in Cork’s trading history and, being located in the heart of the city, feature greatly in the lives and memories of the local residents.

The book is a visual record of the dockers and stevedores who work the wharfs, the business operators, and the sporting clubs, such as the rowers and the American football players, which use the waterways and fields for recreation.
