The Limerick’s Life website was created in an effort to record the local history of Limerick City. The vast and spectacular history of the city has, in many cases, been forgotten or overlooked. This is surprising because such major events as the Signing of the Treaty and the Siege of Limerick occurred upon this soil.
Whether you’re a citizen, visitor, tourist or enthusiast you may have at one point or another wondered about the lives of the common men and women who lived and died in Limerick. What are the legacies of the fisherman, butchers, factory workers, builders, housewives, children, students and miscreants?
Through extensive research, both on-foot and on-line, we have compiled historical articles that attempt to answer these questions. With these articles, we endeavor to education and entertain.
You may have wondered about the history of the old buildings, churches, graveyards, cathedrals and streets you have heard of, walked past, tread upon or dreamt about on a daily basis. What are the stories of these places; who built them, owned them, maintained them? Have you ever questioned how any of these may have changed over the centuries?
