  • 12.4.2.19 Viewpoint 19 – Guinness Storehouse Existing View the Guinness Storehouse Is Amongst Ireland's Most Visited Tourist
    North Lotts Planning Scheme Draft Amendment No 1 - EIS 12.4.2.19 Viewpoint 19 – Guinness Storehouse Existing View The Guinness Storehouse is amongst Ireland’s most visited tourist attractions. The bar affords a panoramic view over the complex city roofscape towards Dublin Bay. Howth Head is prominent in the distance. The extensive, intricate skyline is punctuated by several exceptionally tall structures, most notably the Poolbeg chimneys, and St. Patrick’s and Christchurch Cathedrals amongst others. Several more recent secular buildings are also prominent in the view including Liberty Hall and the pyramid-topped office complex at Tara Street. Although not remarkably high, the IFSC complex is prominent, and along with Liberty Hall and Tara Street it forms a distinct character area albeit relatively limited in extent in the context. Proposed Change The proposed high building will punctuate the horizon formed by Howth Head and would take its place amongst the taller structures in the city. Its relative proximity to the cluster of modern buildings including Liberty Hall, the IFSC and the Tara Street buildings will contribute to the emerging character area. Its height, although less than the Poolbeg chimneys and the taller cathedrals, will render the building a landmark in the urban structure of the city. It will not however detract from their prominence since precedents for landmark modern buildings exist, with no apparent negative effect. In this view the proposed building will form an effective marker of the eastern limit of the city centre, contributing to the legibility of the urban structure. Visual Impact The prominent city centre location affords amongst the broadest views of the city, and is a popular tourist attraction.

  • Archive Fact Sheet: St. James's Gate
    Archive Fact Sheet: St. James’s Gate 19th century representation of entrance to St. James’s Gate Brewery Traditionally, St. James's Gate lay just outside the walls of the medieval city of Dublin. The Gate was the city’s western customs house where tolls (taxes) were collected by the city officials from people entering the city of Dublin. Everyone who wanted to enter Dublin city from the south and the west, had to enter the city through this gate. The area has always been associated with St. James and the holy well of St. James lay next to the Gate. (There has been a church of St. James near the Front Gate since the 1100s). St. James's Gate was also the start of a pilgrimage to Compostella in Spain and pilgrims from all over Ireland used to gather on this site to start the journey to Spain. The medieval gate of St. James was demolished in 1734, 25 years before Arthur Guinness took over the Brewery on the site. However, the Front Gate of the Guinness Brewery as we know it today, stands very near the site of the original St. James's Gate.

  • Coopering Process
    1 Archive Fact Sheet: Cooperage Coopers at St. James’s Gate Brewery, 1890 GDB/DB06/0049 Background Information The craft of ‘coopering’ involves the manufacture of wooden casks. Various hand tools were used with great skill to fashion wooden ‘staves’ (long thin curved individual sections) which were then fastened together with metal hoops forming different sizes of cask, or wooden vessels such as pails and churns. Coopering has been practised for many centuries and is still practised in some parts of the world today. Those who make the casks are known as ‘Coopers’. There are three main categories of coopering known as white, dry and wet. White coopering involves the manufacture of pails, butter churns, tubs and other household utensils for daily use. Dry coopering involves the manufacture of casks for holding dry goods such as flour, tobacco or vegetables. Wet coopering involves the If you have any further questions about Guinness history please contact us at: Guinness Archive, GUINNESS STOREHOUSE®, St. James's Gate, Dublin 8.

  • Brewing Connections
    Madeline Hayes 522344 Place, Culture and Tourism Master Thesis Paper BREWING Erasmus University, Rotterdam School of History, Culture and Communication Supervisor: Annaclaudia Martini CONNECTIONS June 2020 Understanding Place Attachment in Brewery Tourism Brewing Connections: Understanding Place Attachment in Brewery Tourism Title image retrieved from: CraftBeer.com (2017) Abstract: In an increasingly globalizing world, cities, regions and brands are recognizing the importance of creating a unique identity to sustain their relevance and escape homogenization. Many humans are also feeling threats of losing their ability to define and express their self-identities and often look towards travel as a way of (re)discovering the essence of their true selves (Wang, 1999). Often these travelers are seeking authentic interaction (MacCannell, 1976), a place for self-expression (Wang, 1999), and, at times, the ability to positively impact their host community (Schnell, 2013). Since drinking spaces have often been seen as a frame of reference for the set of practices that constitutes a beer culture-rituals, traditions, social interactions, specific aesthetics, and a sense of community and are vehicles to express shared values, meanings and interests (Gammelgaard & Dörrenbächer, 2013), it is possible that visitors to a brewery experience can achieve their travel goals. This thesis researches the question, How can visiting a brewery experience affect a visitor’s formation of place attachment to the location? And the sub-question How can perceived authenticity increase this feeling of place attachment? Theoretical background research on place attachment, authenticity, neolocalism, sociality and sharing, heritage and storytelling, and how breweries shape their communities compared relevant investigations to create a framework for my study.
