End of an era as Cork antique shop P Cashell's to close its doors

One of the last old-style antique and vintage shops in the heart of Cork City is set to close after 62 years in business.

P Cashell’s on Winthrop St was established by Paddy Cashell in 1954, and carved out an international reputation for the provision and sale of Irish historical artefacts, as well as local crafts and bric-a-brac.

But Paul Cashell, who has been running the business established by his father for several years, said the time had come to withdraw from the high street.
