Clune's Tobacco shop at 59 William St. Limerick, circa 1900. John Clune also had a tobacco factory nearby in Denmark Street dating to 1872. The shop closed in the early 1980s and was purchased by EBS. The building was demolished and replaced by a new build.

What a brilliant photo from the 1930s , all our beautiful shopfronts have been replaced by bland & tacky facades.
