There was a fad about 15 years ago for pubs to be covered in signage and prices went through the roof, feel free to add places where there's some decent stuff on display.

The Mills Inn, Ballyvourney, Macroom, Co Cork.

Very interesting. Staunton's pub in Lecanvey County Mayo had a great bi-lingual Player's sign that caught my eye last summer. Having spent a lot of time around Balla it was sad to see the railway close but nice to see the some of memorabilia in Castlerea - must drive over when next in the west.

I'm always on the lookout for signs, especially bi-lingual ones, when in Ireland as I have a connection with the west and was always particularly interested in the railways: Westport to Achill line and the old Donegal railway. Thanks for the links!

There's a shop in Inchigeela Co Cork with a few...

FYI Only the GSR and CIE had bi-lingual signage. Advertisers used Irish at their own whim it would seem including Raleigh (scroll down) and the AA.

Irish Statute Book, Railways Act, 1924
68.—The amalgamated company shall, as soon as may be practicable, replace all public notices and signs (including names of stations) which are now in the English Language only by notices and signs in both Irish and English, and shall within one year from the 1st January, 1925, submit to the Minister a scheme for the printing of their passenger card tickets for journeys within the Saorstát in both the Irish and English languages and the Minister shall, unless he is of opinion that the adoption of the scheme would jeopardise the standard revenue and result in increased rates and fares, order the amalgamated company to put such scheme into operation: Provided that existing stocks of tickets may be used until exhausted.

 

Note: Many English-only signs survived until closures in the 60's and beyond!

Note: Hell's Kitchen only open on request now. Owner can't get anyone to take the lease :(

Contact Sean Browne and he should open the place for interested parties.

 Love this rail bike

It's a very nice item.
Sean is an absolute gent and loves showing interested folks his collection.

A private collection of mostly cast alloy/cast iron Irish road signs and some enamel signage, the Eugene Markey collection...and a link to a set of the older cast iron instructional/warning signs...

Don't know where this is, but it's the typical Irish AA bi-lingual enamel fingerpost.
