Appraisal
This former brewery store was built as part of the Murphy brewery network. Set adjacent to the railway line, it was conveniently located to facilitate delivery from the Lady's Well Brewery in Cork city. The design of this functional building is pleasing and attention to detail is evident particularly in the opening surrounds.
