- Anthony-G 4y agoOnly just reading this now and wondering if you've any reference regarding its usage in Ireland. The only non-Nazi usage that I'm aware of is the Swastika Laundry (I used to work nearby and unforunately, the swastika is now gone from its chimney stack). When I researched it, it turns out that the founder was inspired by an ornament he saw at the 1910 Great Industrial Exhibition in London: https://www.nationalarchives.ie/article/behind-scenes-swastika-laundry/ https://www.nationalarchives.ie/article/behind-scenes-swasti... With a layman's interest in history, religion, iconography (and a multitude of other areas that I don't have enough time for), I'd be interested in learning about other or older examples of swastika usage in Ireland. So far, I've found this wonderful blog post: https://rmchapple.blogspot.com/2017/10/always-remember-to-draw-swastika.html https://rmchapple.blogspot.com/2017/10/always-remember-to-dr...
