  • 10 Archaeology, Cultural Heritage and Architectural Heritage
    Dublin City Council College Green Project EIS Chapter 10- Archaeology, Architectural and Cultural Heritage 10 Archaeology, Cultural Heritage and Architectural Heritage 10.1 Introduction Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd has prepared this report on behalf of Dublin City Council to assess the impact, if any, on the archaeological, architectural and cultural heritage resource of the Proposed Project at College Green, Dublin City Centre (OS Sheet 18). The Proposed Project occupies a city-centre location, c. 235m south of the River Liffey, adjacent to landmark buildings including Bank of Ireland and Trinity College. The study area falls within 1.4 hectares (including the block formed by St Andrew’s, Trinity, and Church Street). It is located at College Green which encompasses parts of Dame Street, Trinity Street, St Andrew’s Street and Church Lane, at the very northern end of Grafton Street. The Project is adjacent to the southern end of Anglesea Street and occupies the full area of Foster Place and College Green which includes the southernmost part of Westmoreland Street, the area south of Bank of Ireland (former House of Parliament) and immediate west of Trinity College. As part of the Proposed Project, it has been indicated that a large area of eastern College Green (170m x 40m) may be excavated to a depth of 2.5m to accommodate the main plaza. The Proposed Project is located within the zone of archaeological potential for the historic centre of Dublin City (DU018-020). It is located c. 270m outside of the medieval town walls of Dublin. The Proposed Project is also surrounded by numerous protected structures and partially located within Architectural Conservation Areas (ACAs) associated with O’Connell Street, The South City Retail Quarter and Grafton Street and Environs.

During the course of the century it underwent a major rebuilding, with the Wide Streets Commission demolishing many of the narrow medieval streets and replacing them with large Georgian streets. Among the famous streets to appear following this redesign were Sackville Street (now called O'Connell Street), Dame Street, Westmoreland Street, and D'Olier Street. Five major Georgian squares were also laid out: Rutland Square (now called Parnell Square) and Mountjoy Square to the north, and Merrion Square, Fitzwilliam Square, and Saint Stephen's Green south of the River Liffey.

  • The Social Topography of Eighteenth-Century Dublin
    15 The Multi-Centred Metropolis: The Social Topography of Eighteenth-Century Dublin EDEL SHERIDAN-QUANTZ It is here necessary to remark, that the eastern side of the City, contiguous to the sea, is almost entirely laid out in elegant streets, for the residence of the gentry: and the western side, though more remote from the sea, and consequently not so conveniently situated for the purposes of commerce, is chiefly inhabited by merchants and mechanicks.1 IN A PORT CITY IT SEEMS RATHER ODD INDEED that the ‘merchants and mechanicks’ should dwell in the landward half of the city, leaving the area towards the coast to the ‘gentry’. As the following demonstrates, Dublin’s east–west social gradient as described in eighteenth-century and early nineteenth-century accounts, of which a typical sample is given above, was not quite as simple as many contemporaries liked to claim. The eastern and western sectors were fragmented and subdivided by the physical barrier of the River Liffey, so that different neighbourhood characters and subcentres of social and economic activity developed, not only in the eastern and western halves of the city but also within these sectors. With the Restoration of the monarchy in England and the consequent re-establishment of the Irish parliament in Dublin, the city began to expand rapidly again. Dublin in the eighteenth century was a capital city, nominally of a semi- autonomous kingdom, de facto of a state with effective colonial status subject to the English throne; nevertheless, the city had all the associated administrative, legal, cul- tural and economic functions of a capital.
