Photos of Existing Dublin Housing Buildings Monuments

Ahh good ol' Langrishe Place. We used to race our trollies down that hill from the 'castle' (as we called the old church) and into Summerhill. As the trollies never had brakes, crashing into the kerb on the other side of Summerhill was how you stopped.

It's all changed since my childhood there... much of the hill was cut back and houses on each side demolished to widen Summerhill.

Thanks for that golden memory.

St.John the Baptist Church of Ireland is on Seafield Road in Clontarf and was built in 1866. The ruins of the previous Church building is 200 metres away on Castle Avenue surrounded by a small graveyard and next to Clontarf Castle. The graveyard is still used on occasions and contains the grave of Tom Johnston who was leader of the Irish Labour Party in succession to James Connolly and Jim Larkin. He was first Leader of the Opposition in the First Dail as Sinn Fein boycotted the Dail. Also buried there is Comedienne Maureen Potter. The riuins and graveyard are open to the public during normal daylight hours and is situated right at the 130 bus terminus. Bram Stoker was baptised in the old Church in 1847.

I think that fine building in Mill Street was a Church of Ireland school and a social centre.

I was not sure what the Mill Street house used to be but I see from the Dublin City Council's list of Protected Structures that the house at no.10 Mill Street is protected. I assume that building is number 10.
