Many months ago, I was having a conversation about the location of Queen Victoria’s statue in Cork – the exhumed one.
This led to there being very many other references to Queen Victoria remaining in Cork – streetnames; buildings; and, many postboxes with VR embossed on them.
Last week I was in Passage and noted the large plaque in the wall on the dockyard. Last night, I received an email with a link to John Spillane’s song The Ferry Arms. It made me smile as to the proximity of a Glasgow Celtic house to Royal Victoria.
