'Such an exciting place to draw': Demolition of R&H Hall captured by Cork artist

Artist and primary school teacher Celina Buckley hopes her art will preserve the essence of the docklands before it is transformed

R&H Hall by Celina Buckley.

It was an iconic landmark that dominated the Cork City skyline for nearly a century. And now, the demolition of the R&H silos on Cork's Kennedy Quay has been immortalised in a series of sketches by a local artist. On February 23, work began on demolishing the two former grain stores, as part of a regeneration project to breathe new life into the city's docklands.

Celina Buckley completed 12 drawings in total, all drawn at different stages of the demolition process.
