The King William of Orange statue on College Green was eventually removed in 1929, following an explosion in the early hours of Armistice Day that year. A bomb had also been placed at the base of the bronze statue of King George II in Stephens Green. It had sat on College Green since 1701, and was frequently the target of vandals (more on that below) but the explosion didn’t mark the end of its traumatic life as the King’s head was removed from the statue while it was placed in storage in Corporation Yard, Hanover Street!
Dublin supported James II at the Battle of the Boyne, but following his defeat by William III, a protestant ascendancy resumed control of the city and began to forge links with the new and successful monarchy. This process intensified after the death of Mary II in 1695 left William III as sole monarch. Dublin Corporation added William’s arms to the City Sword; in 1697 and in the following year, the king presented a chain of office to the Lord Mayor of Dublin, carrying the monarch’s bust on a medallion, which is in use to this day.Attached FilesWe'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!

The poshest tenement in Dublin...
This is Riversdale House (40 Old Kilmainham) which was known as The Shakespeare House because of the statue of Shakespeare on the door. It was built around 1725 and Dublin lawyer Sir Simon Bradstreet lived there with his family. The statue was rediscovered when ivy was removed in 1912. It was converted to tenements in the late 19th century but the building fell into disrepair and most of it was demolished in 1965.Attached FilesWe'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!
