Doors Close On Oldest London Irish Bar “The Tipperary”.

Possibly London’s oldest Irish pub “The Tipperary”, latter situated at No 66 Fleet Street on the south side, in the city, has finally and sadly, had its doors closed for the last time.

A notice on its door states that Equivo Ltd have re-entered and secured these premises under an Interim Possession Order, issued in the County Court, dated 9th August 2022.

The Tipperary, was one of London’s oldest and most historic of Irish bars, having changed its name from the “Boars Head” after it was rebuilt following the ‘Great Fire of London’ in 1666.
The premises was understood to have been one of the first such licenced hostelries to serve Guinness to Irish emigrants.

Fleet Street in London was once a metonym for the British national press, with pubs on the street once frequented by journalists. However, much of the printing and publishing industry moved out of the area in the 1980s, after News International set up cheaper manufacturing premises in Wapping, East London.

Another Road Sign Required For Liberty Square, Thurles.

Another of the recently erected directional road signs on Liberty Square, Thurles, has “bitten the dust”, struck by a vehicle attempting to manoeuvre within a now drastically reduced driving space.
Wonder what would have happened if the electrical box, sitting close by, had been struck? Probably would have turned off the lighting currently burning in broad daylight.

So before someone gets killed, where is the Thurles Relief Road which was announced in 2018, as being eligible for funding under the National Development Plan. See HERE.

With two politicians resident in Thurles, both supporting our present coalition government, surely, we must have some clout in Dáil Éireann; but apparently not!
