Nostalgia in shop sale

Former village shop is choc-a-bloc with everything from glass to religious pictures, writes Tommy Barker.

Nostalgia in shop sale

WELCOME to the blast from the past, a village home and shop, where time has stood still, but is about to gather pace. The former O’Regan’s shop, overlooking the Atlantic from the heights of Ardfield village six miles from Clonakilty, has finally come up for sale, an utter timepiece after its doors closed a decade or more ago, and bursting with potential for the mildly brave.

When visited by the Irish Examiner, it was chock-a-bloc with nostalgia, auction finds, old crockery and glass, religious pictures and statuary — even old newspapers — nothing, it seems, ever got thrown out.
