Had a day off the bike exploring Limerick. It's a very nice city with plenty to see and a friendly 'small town' atmosphere about it. The city centre is laid out in a grid so is very easy to navigate.
I visited two museums, Limerick Museum and The Hunt Museum, which gave a lot of information on the history of the city.
Limerick Museum is the plain fronted building, the building with the columns is a church.
There is also a small art gallery in a very pleasant park.
I visited King John's Castle and the interpretative centre has a very good display about its history.
Wandering around the city I saw statues commemorating actor Richard Harris,
television and radio presenter Terry Wogan,
and a sculpture commemorating the work of dockers at the city's quays.
I also saw this interesting entrance to an auctioneer's yard.
I posted this photo on Facebook and my friend Sean replied with a period newspaper cutting.
