About Geopal

The National Inventory rates Geopal Regional, one of 581 in Temple Bar. Geopal dates from 1925–1945. 438 other places on the record stand within 400 m.

Temple Bar contains relatively few twentieth-century buildings, and this Art Deco addition to Temple Lane South, formerly known as Dirty Lane, brings architectural diversity the area. Built as a printworks, the industrial use was in keeping with that of many other adjacent buildings in the nineteenth century.

Questions about Geopal

Is Geopal on the National Inventory?

Yes: rated Regional (record 50020108).

Can you visit Geopal?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

When was Geopal built?

Its National Inventory record dates it to 1925–1945.

Is Geopal protected?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
