DUBLI When this picture of College Green, Dublin, was engraved, early in the 19th Century, Guinness's stout was already an established favourite. The building in the centre is the front of Trinity College in whose library are the Book of Kells and the ancient Q'Neill harp on which the Guinness trade mark is based. From College Green you can set off on a No. 21 hus to see Guinness's historic Brewery at St. James's Gate. The Brewery when itwas first leased by Arthur Guinness in 1759, covered four acres. By 1914 it had grown to 60 acres. and is now perhaps the most famous Brewery in the world.
