Ha'Penny Bridge Ha'Penny Bridge or Half Penny Bridge crosses Liffey Street Lower to Merchants Arch. The elliptical arched metal bridge originally had a wooden gangway when it was constructed in 1816. The bridge has a 43 meter span, 3 meter width and is 3 meters above the water. Today 30,000 people walk across the bridge every day! Before the bridge was built people would take ferries across the river. The ferries were often overcrowded and sometimes even capsized. When the bridge was constructed the ferries became redundant. William Walsh was the former ferry owner and a city alderman. He was compensated with £3,000 and a lease on the bridge for 100 years. Walsh charged Dubliners Image By: HalfPennyBridge-Public Domain a ha'penny to cross the bridge, which was the same price he had charged Image Source: for a ferry ride. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha'penny_Bridge#mediaviewer/File:HalfPennyBridge.jpg The bridge gets its name from the ha'penny toll but officially it has been called the Liffey Bridge since 1922. It is also known as Triangle, Iron Bridge and Wellington. The bridge remained the only pedestrian bridge crossing the Liffey River until Millennium Bridge was built in 1999.

James Joyce, the City of Dublin, and the Imagined Tourist Experience
The Prick with the Stick and the City that Hated then Loved Him: James Joyce, the City of Dublin, and the Imagined Tourist Experience An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Madeline Witek Thesis Advisor Dr. Patrick Collier 7~ Ball State University Muncie, Indiana August 2011 Expected Date of Graduation July 23, 2011 / Abstract James Joyce's novel Ulysses depicts the Dublin of 1904 in such detail that Joyce was famously quoted as saying that "if the city suddenly disappeared from the earth it could be reconstructed out of my book," and it is this city of fiction which literary tourists come to experience in Dublin today_ The phenomenon of the imaginary becoming heritage is unique to the literary tourist experience, and it is one that keeps the modern city of Dublin situated in the nostalgic past. Joyce harbored ambivalent feelings in his lifetime towards the city of his birth, and Dublin reciprocated until recent decades; now it embraces and exploits its most famous son. I examine the history of the complicated relationship between Joyce and Dublin as it plays out through the complex systems of literary tourism, ultimately exploring the opposing academic and non-academic enthusiast communities occurring within the city of Dublin today_ Acknowledgments First and foremost I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Patrick Collier for advising me throughout this project. His continued guidance, encouragement, and patience throughout this long and challenging project has been invaluable and is just a small fraction of the help and guidance I received during my time at Ball State.

TS As the Capital, Dublin Has Often Been
TS As the capital, Dublin has often been the epicentre of cultural activity, and its streets – and colourful inhabitants – have proved a timeless source of inspiration for writers. The entire epic tale of Ulysses (which is more than 700 pages long) captures events taking place across the city on 16th June 1904. Step into the shoes of the main character of Ulysses, advertising canvasser Leopold Bloom, while wandering through Ireland’s capital city, Dublin. On your next visit to Dublin, why not let us arrange a luxury private chauffeur drive tour to explore the historic sights or a wonderful local tour guide to accompany you on a stroll through the city centre to see the areas associated with James Joyce and his wonderful books and characters. When you’re ready to stretch your legs, Dublin has a range of options to take you deeper into its literary world. Start with a visit to the James Joyce Cultural Centre situated in a stunning Georgian townhouse, offering visitors historical and biographical information about James Joyce and his influence in literature. https://jamesjoyce.ie/ Have a photo stop at the James Joyce Statue - Widely acclaimed as Ireland’s most famous author, James Joyce is immortalised in brass, in a life-sized statue on North Earl Street, adjacent to the O’Connell Street GPO. Although he spent much of his life abroad, Joyce wrote prolifically about his home country, and particularly the city of his birth. Rest your legs at the Winding Stair Bookshop, one of the oldest surviving independent bookshops in Dublin. The bookshop has a unique atmosphere; a relaxed haven in the centre of the bustling city.
