Cork institution set to shut up shop

A Cork City institution, known to many families for more than half a century, is set to close.

Barbers Prams and Cycles has confirmed it will close its doors on Easter Saturday.

Tom and Hilda Barber first opened for business on Connolly Rd, Ballyphehane, in 1959. The premises expanded to include the adjoining shops and continues to be run as a family business, selling items including nursery furniture and accessories, cots, buggies, strollers, and tricycles.
