Read source trail🏭 Heritage-listed building
Built: c.1840 · NIAH rating: Regional
The cast-iron railing on the parapet adds artistic interest to this building which has historic associations with the railway, established in 1844, as it served workers of the Inchicore railway works to the south-west. It occupies a prominent position on Sarsfield Road, an early road from Kilmainham to Chapelizod. It adds to the typological and architectural variety of this largely residential street. The well-executed shopfront is indicative of the social function of the building.

PubHub read of the archive
These cards turn the raw forum trail into practical page leads: gossip, character texture, time depth, source depth, and review warnings where the match pattern is broad.
overmatch_review
Boards.ie produces 54 readable matches for Cleary's, but the name or hit pattern is broad enough that PubHub should treat this as a source-mining queue before writing stronger lore. The links still preserve useful public memory leads.
