Steps in Cork City

Limestone steps in three flights and flagged paving to Greenfield Lane, c. 1825.

Early nineteenth-century limestone steps and flagged paving having importance as surviving example in reasonable condition, where other similar examples have been lost. These steps form part of an interesting group with similar nineteenth-century paving schemes. Steps such as these are found in many locations throughout the city, and contribute to its unique character. These paving schemes utilised cut limestone, which in many cases has been replaced or covered with concrete.
