Donnelly's bacon factory, Dublin

Cork St, The Coombe, Dublin city.




Donnelly's.




This bacon factory was originally Kehoe-Donnelly's (or "Messrs. Kehoe, Donnelly and Co.").
"Keogh Brothers" is found on the photo above, but confusingly, this is the name of the photographers, not the name of the factory.
Date on the building in the photo above seems to be 1905.

Donnelly's was purchased by Stephen O'Mara 1906, described as a "long-established bacon curing business".
James O'Mara came back from England to take over running it 1914.
He sold it to his brother Phons O'Mara mid-late 1940s, who ran it.
His son Stephen O'Mara then ran it.

Donnelly (Dublin) Ltd is listed as acquiring some new land from Dublin Corporation as part of a land exchange in 1962. Think this is site of the new building.
New building erected probably between 1962 and 1964.
Donnelly's shut down c.1965.
New building is now The Donnelly Centre, Cork Street, Dublin 8 (Self Storage and File Stores).
