Grand Parade

The Grand Parade is built over a channel of the Lee, like so many of the other streets in the centre of Cork city. The channel, which later became the Grand Parade, is shown in the earliest maps of Cork. In the late 18th century Cork Corporation built culverts to carry the water for some of the channels of the Lee and built the streets over them. The channel had been completely filled in by the late 1780s.
