Terrace property has historic links with city families

WELCOME to urban gentility.

The terrace of eight house Newenham Terrace is relatively unusual in Cork city - it is on the city's southside, wheras the usual run of such terraced finery is to be found north of the river, stepped in terraces around and beneath the barracks.

This southside row of homes, outclassed south of the river only by the adjacent and older South Terrace, is Georgian in character but Victorian in its building era, and is opposite the old Victoria Hospital a few hundred yards from City Hall.
