In Cappoquin recently at the launch of the Wonder Wander Walking Trails, Deputy Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr Declan Doocey, spoke about the historic shopfronts, which are the best in the county and referenced the ornamental details such as shamrocks and flowers which are carved into the woodwork.
Highlighting key points of the streetscape, the new trail shines a light on some of the lesser-known architectural details of the streetscape. The Wonder Wander Walking Trails were also launched in Waterford City in the Central Library, where Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr Joe Conway mentioned buildings such as Christchurch Cathedral, the Port of Waterford building and the city walls. He noted details such as the Art Noveau windows on the Baptist Church in Catherine Street, the ornate terracotta figures on Clyde House and the terraced houses such as those at St Otteran’s Place.
These trails have been produced by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH), The Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage, in association with Waterford City and County Council.
