Shop Street (Template:Langx) is the main thoroughfare of the city of Galway in the west of Ireland. It has been pedestrianised since the late 1990s.[1]
As its name suggests, it is Galway's main shopping street, and was one of the first streets in the city to develop a retail focus.[2] Shop Street contains a number of old brick buildings, bright shopfronts, and numerous pubs.[3] The street name "Shop Street" is common in the Connacht region, being found in Boyle, Tuam and Westport as well as Galway.[4] Street performers and buskers are prevalent on the street.[5]
Shop Street contains one of central Galway's best preserved ancient buildings, Lynch's Castle. This 16th-century building was converted into a branch of Allied Irish Banks during the 1960s.[6]
Book shops on Shop Street include Dubray Books and Eason & Son,[7][8] with Charlie Byrne's Bookshop on nearby Middle Street.
As of late 2017, additional improvements and pedestrianisation works were proposed for Shop Street and the surrounding area.[9][needs update]Template:DMCA
