Cork's iconic Thompsons Bakery to rise again in different guise

The Thompson Bakery building on Cork city’s MacCurtain Street is not just a slice of local history — it’s almost the full sliced pan, spanning three centuries of heritage, and now visibly risen to renewed glories.

Now, in tandem with major renewal projects on, off and along MacCurtain Street, the iconic 19th century buildings, and their 20th century glass-curtain walled extension, stride into the 21st century and the 2020s as the last stage of a five-year upgrade plan come to fruition via owners the Lynch family.
