Iconic business closes on Bloomsday

A Dublin business which once employed James Joyce as a sales agent is closing its doors for good this evening — ironically on Bloomsday, when Joyce is remembered on an annual basis.

The Dublin Woollen Mills has been on Lower Ormond Quay since 1931 and, before moving there, was sited on nearby Bachelor’s Walk since 1881.

The haberdashery shop, located close to the Ha’Penny Bridge, has been on the market for weeks.
