It is with broken hearts and the utmost sorrow that we announce the untimely passing of our pride and joy…our precious, beautiful boy William. Without his radiant light, life will never be the same again.✨

Sad to see an 18th century building at West Street in Drogheda being demolished today after being allowed to fall into a dangerous state of dereliction over the last number of years.

Meet... Vanessa Power
Vanessa Power, the lettering and mural artist behind Signs of Power, specialises in the creation of unique custom lettering, type-based murals and hand-painted signs. Her vibrant style acts as a bridge between the traditional craft of sign painting and the captivating aesthetic of the pop art movement.
Her artwork often features colloquial phrases and positive slogans, uplifting and inspiring viewers. Vanessa utilises her lettering expertise across various mediums to infuse charm, sophistication, and warmth into people's homes. She meticulously crafts hand-cut word-based mosaics, elegant tiffany-style stained glass pieces, and implements the timeless art of gold leaf on glass.
What advice would you give someone who is considering a career in design?
Just take the leap! The best advice I ever received was to pursue something you're truly passionate about and give it your all. Expect long hours, especially in the beginning stages of establishing yourself.

What a brilliant photo from the 1930s , all our beautiful shopfronts have been replaced by bland & tacky facades.
Replying to @RHODLIMERICK
This pic c.1937 from the Tipp Studies collection. It looked like a wonderful shop.

Clune's Tobacco shop at 59 William St. Limerick, circa 1900.
John Clune also had a tobacco factory nearby in Denmark Street dating to 1872.
The shop closed in the early 1980s and was purchased by EBS. The building was demolished and replaced by a new build.
