Adam Warren (ADW) has been creating incredible street art across Ireland, and we were delighted to welcome him to Clonkeen Park in Deansgrange (behind SuperValu) to create this eye‑catching new mural.
Inspired by the rich industrial history of the area, the mural reflects on Boland’s Biscuit Factory, which operated locally until the 1970s. Around 1973, Boland’s merged with Jacob’s to form Irish Biscuits Ltd, and by around 1980 production had relocated to Tallaght, marking the closure of the Boland’s factory in the area.
A particularly fondly remembered tradition was “Broken Biscuits Friday.” On Fridays, factory workers were given broken biscuits to bring home — a small gesture that left a lasting impression on the families of those who worked there.
We love how this mural captures and celebrates this shared social history, turning local memories into a vibrant piece of public art for the community to enjoy.
