Old face, young shoulders

THE old stone facade of an industrial building, at the foot of Lover’s Walk hill in Tivoli in Cork, has been retained in a new apartment development — sort of putting an old face on young shoulders.

The former Tivoli Spinners building, also used as a distillery store and serving too as a yard for architectural salvage, sold a year ago for €900,000.

Now, with full planning in hand for 20 apartments, the Stone Court scheme by Oyster Developments is being marketed by Brian Olden of Lisney who is well over the half way mark in sales.
