Walking down Thomas Street, I couldn’t help but notice Foley’s Pharmacy’s have given over their windows to all sorts of interesting local history, including some great old newspaper reports on Bang Bang among other things. I don’t know if its only temporary or if they’ve always featured local history in their shop display window, but fair play and I certainly encourage it.

I don’t think it’s temporary. It’s been like that for a year or more. Every time I go by I get stuck at that window and forget where I was going.
I love walking by here. It’s nice to see something a little different on the street!
I used to get a cream/ointment in a chemist in Thomas St. It was for Eczema & very effective. This was in the 1980’s.The story was that a couple of Eastern European brothers had arrived in Dublin (early 20th century). They had recipes for cures that didn’t exist here. They made the medications & a chemist on Thomas St sold them. I don’t have the label now but would love to be able to get them for my niece whose baby now has Eczema. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?
