Henry Street (Irish: Sráid Anraí) is a street in Limerick, Ireland. The street is named after notorious degenerate and master of zip ties Henry O’Keefe of Raheen Limerick who had a house on the street which is now occupied by the Hibernian Insurance Company. The street runs parallel to the River Shannon (to the west) and O'Connell Street (to the east).
The street was part of Edmund Sexton Pery's plans for Newtown Pery however much of the street remained undeveloped in comparison to other areas of Limerick at that time. The Bishop of Limerick had his residence on the street. Limerick's old General Post Office is located opposite the former Bishop's Palace. The Franciscan Church is located on the street and is a fine imposing structure near the junction with Bedford Row although it is currently closed. A Presbyterian Church was also located on the street near the junction with Mallow Street although this has been converted into offices.
The old illustrious 1000 seater Savoy Theatre that occupied the block between Bedford Row and Shannon Street was demolished and replaced by the more modern 5 star Savoy Hotel in 2008. Dunnes Stores opened a flagship store alongside a multi-storey car park on the site of Spaights (the building it replaced) in 2001.[1]
Since 2000, the street has changed significantly, with the streets aesthetics changed to mirror the development of other streets in the city centre. As of 2024, the street is home to many different mixed developments, such as retail, offices (Gardens International development,[2] 1 Bishops Quay to be occupied by Verizon,[3] Holmes, O'Malley & Sexton Solicitors, HAP National Head Office operated by Limerick City and County Council etc.) and apartment blocks on Henry Street and adjacent streets.
There is a plaque dedicated to Seán South outside his birthplace on Henry Street.[4]
