View of the Presentation convent at Cove Lane, now Douglas Street Cork. The buildings captured in these images were built by Nano Nagle and the Ursulines from 1771 onwards. Both the Presentation and the Ursuline Sisters occupied these grounds until 1825, when the Ursuline's relocated to Blackrock, outside the city.
