Nice to get an inight. Often passed it and wondered what lay within. Think I recall a brown Rolls Royce used to park outside. Presumably the MD of the day. Hope they continue to thrive, and find a new home!
Dónal Yes, they were renting from Nora Fogarty around the 1948-50 period. I still have vague memories of the place. Although, since I was only 2 yrs old when we left, they're probably not real memories.

Just been demolished.
I was born in the rooms above the shop (on the left at 0:25) 68 years ago.
You're not serious, Mick? That's fascinating! Were your parents renting the apartment at the time?
