• ... that grading and inspection of butter took place in the butter market of Shandon Street from 1770 to 1924? Sources: "All butter exported from Shandon had to be examined by appointed inspectors, who graded the butter from ‘first’ to ‘sixth’; the first being excellent quality which the sixth was termed ‘grease’ (very poor)... By the late 19th century the trade had declined and the Butter Market closed in 1924." (Cathedral of St. Mary & St. Anne); "In May 1770, it was decided by the Cork Committee that all butter to be exported from Cork was to be examined by appointed inspectors... Eventually, the Cork butter Market closed in 1924." (Cork Heritage)
  • ALT1:... that five churches have stood at the top of Shandon Street since 1624?? Source: "The present Cathedral of St. Mary’s and St. Anne’s is the fifth church on the site since the early 1600s (1624, 1700, 1730, and 1808)... In 1820, an immense fire greatly damaged the fourth cathedral... the bishop of that time, John Murphy delegated to architect, George Pain, the rebuilding of the then 12 year old cathedral, inside and outside."

• New, in time, long enough, sourced, hook checks out, no copyvios seen, QPQ done. Prefer ALT1 (removed "consecutive," which is technically not in the source, but nonetheless implies by the wording in both source and hook). --Usernameunique (talk) 22:59, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
