Product Description
Synopsis
In 'Dublin Street Names', Paul Clerkin lists over 300 streets - mainly in central Dublin - and explains how they got their names. Everyone knows that O'Connell Street is named for Daniel O'Connell, but who was the Nassau in Nassau Street, or the Grafton in Grafton Street? Why is Winetavern Street so called or Usher's Island or Temple Bar? Why is Parliament Street nowhere near any parliament, old or new? Why is there an Of Lane in Dublin 1? There's Henry Street, Harry Street and Henrietta Street. Who was the lad in Lad Lane? There is Protestant Row and Pig Lane, Stoneybatter and Lotts, not to mention Dolphin's Barn and Cross Guns Bridge. This fascinating little book explains all these and many other names. It is a fun book for Dubliners and visitors alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tome of Reference For All, 27 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Dublin Street Names is a wonderful example of a complete reference work.

The book lists almost every street and lane in Dublin City and provides a detailed history of the origin of the street name. Many streets also have added detail regarding the history of the street itself, architectural masterpieces to be found in the area, or notes on historical figures who lived in the area.

Altogether, a must-have for
