Greystones Shops 1922

Since we were examing the new shops in Greystones we decided to visit the library and look for any information on what Greystones looked like in the early 1900s. We found a book called ‘A Guide to Greystones’ printed in 1922.

Here are some of the shops we found. We have found out what some of these building are today. 

 

The Gold Hotel on Portland Road no longer exists.

 

Braemar Private Hotel/Lewis’ Hotel. St Brigids School replaced this.

 

The Railway Hotel is now the Burnaby Hotel.

 

The Stanley Stores is now Fenton Fires.
