The Old Shamrock Bar
I love this old pub on Connacht Street here in Athlone. There’s something so poignant about its dereliction. Vacant shopfronts like this are fading fast - Athlone is a growing metropolis. Across the street from the old Shamrock Bar is a brand-new shopping/apartment complex.

It was owned by an affable gent by the name of Jim Fawl, used to be one of my favourite places to buy fishing tackle as a young lad. The place had a fascinating smell of old timber,dust and drink. Real old world.
