2/290 IRELAND Printed and Published JOHN HINDE ORIGINAL PATRICK'S STREET, CORK CITY-The principal city centre thoroughfare. With its population of nearly 80,000 people, Cork is the third largest city in Ireland. It developed from a monastic settlement founded by St. Finbarr. Later a walled town was built on a marsh in the many channelled River Lee. With its numerous bridges, Cork has a picturesque continental air, yet it is one of Ireland's most progressive centres. Here also are the Shandon Bells, whose chimes are world-famous. by John Hinde Limited, Cabinteely, Co. Dublin, Irish Republic.
