Galway Gazetteer IHTA Contact Sarah Gearty at [email protected] if you wish to cite this document in a publication IRISH HISTORIC TOWNS ATLAS Galway Draft of gazetteer of topographical information by Jacinta Prunty and Paul Walsh 30 November 2010 Part funded by the Heritage Council 2010 Research Grant Scheme The Irish Historic Towns Atlas is a Royal Irish Academy research project (www.ihta.ie) 1 Contact Sarah Gearty at [email protected] if you wish to cite this document in a publication Introduction to draft This gazetteer is a draft and was compiled as part of work in progress on the Irish Historic Towns Atlas (IHTA) of Galway city. Many of the references were collected and added from February to November 2010 as part of a research programme funded by the Heritage Council 2010 grant scheme. The ongoing Galway project is guided by authors Jacinta Prunty and Paul Walsh, who work in conjunction with the editorial board and staff of the IHTA, Royal Irish Academy. Thanks are due to the research team that worked with the authors in the production of this draft gazetteer: Anne Rosenbusch, Adrian Kirwin, Siobhan Murphy. Note on draft The following topographical information is categorised into eleven thematic sections (10 Streets, 11 Religion, 12 Defence, 13 Administration, 14 Primary Production, 15 Manufacturing, 16 Trades and Services, 17 Transport, 18 Utilities, 19 Health, 20 Education, 21 Entertainment, memorials and societies), which will be included in the published IHTA, Galway. References are derived directly from various primary sources (listed with their abbreviations in the bibliography) and relate to the built-up area of Galway at each of the dates referred to up to 1900. These are listed chronologically under the relevant feature entry. The entries under each heading, except for Streets, are grouped thematically: for example, all mills in section 15 Manufacturing are listed together. Street names are listed in alphabetical order. The first entry for each street gives its present-day name, followed by its first identifiable appearance, named or unnamed, in a map or other record and the various names subsequently applied to it in chronological order of occurrence. Users are reminded that this is work in progress, and, in essence, is a distillation of references that have been associated with particular features. Further research and editorial work is required before bringing the IHTA, Galway to publication. As a result, some citations have yet to be linked with the relevant feature and locations have yet to be clarified. Likewise, it should be noted that the list of abbreviations is a draft bibliography and is subject to continuous editing. 2 Contact Sarah Gearty at [email protected] if you wish to cite this document in a publication 10.
