We crossed this bridge every day on our Covid-19 daily exercise during the shut-down. It was just a bridge to us, within our 2km limit, but the local families with young kids all gathered on in and implored the passing trunks underneath to honk their horns..... to much squealing and delight. It was a sight to see, and quite the racket to hear also!
Other notable features near here, slightly up the hill are some of the finer homes in Glanmire.
First up is the impressive Brooklodge House. I haven't managed to source much info on this building yet - I amy have to return and edit this later.
Secondly there is Kilroan House - a detached irregular-plan three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1880, with projecting gabled end bays to front (south) and rear (north) elevations, gablet and recessed porch to central bay of front elevation, gabled bay with box bay window to west elevation and recent extensions to rear and east elevations. Pitched artificial slate roofs with decorative timber bargeboards to gables and red brick chimneystacks. Rendered walls with render plinth and render brackets to gables. Render heraldic motifs to gable fronts. Square-headed openings with cut stone sills, moulded render label mouldings and timber mullioned and transomed fixed pane and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Recessed porch with chamfered square-profile piers rising to ogee arch, having square-headed openings behind, one having timber panelled double-leaf doors and others chamfered and with bipartite one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Detached two-bay single-storey gate lodge to west of site with single-bay single-storey porch. Hipped artificial slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and recent rooflight.
