Dub tenements....the ironwork is distinctive...but where is/was it ?.

Forgotten where this one was...had it and lost it. Any ideas (JD?). Or is it Joseph's Lane in Whitelaw's report ?.

Reverend Whitelaw recounted his first impression of those who lived and suffered in an environment of human hopelessness; "Into the backyard of each house, frequently not ten feet deep, is flung, from the windows of each apartment, the ordure and other filth of its numerous inhabitants; from whence it is so seldom removed, that I have seen it nearly on a level with the windows of the first floor; and the moisture that, after heavy rains, oozes from this heap, having frequently no sewer to carry it off, runs into the street, by the entry leading to the staircase. When I attempted to take the population of a ruinous house in Josephs Lane, near Castlemarket, I was interrupted in my progress, by an inundation of putrid blood, alive with maggots, which had, from an adjacent slaughter-house, burst the back-door, and filled the hall to the depth of several inches. By the help of a plank, and some stepping stones, which I procured to the purpose (for the inhabitants, without any concern, waded through it), I reached the staircase. It had rained violently, and, from the shattered state of the roof, a torrent of water made its way through every floor, from the garret to the ground. The shallow looks, and filth of the wretches, who crowded round me, indicated their situation, though they seemed insensible to the stench, which I could scarce sustain for a few minutes.

Railway Street
or
Tyrone Street lower
or
Mecklenburgh Street lower
-------
All above apply as it was first named

Mecklenburgh Street lower

changed to
Tyrone Street lower

changed to
Railway Street

This street was the heart of Monto
Most of the brothels were lower down the street
The name changes were to disasociate the area from Monto

Thanks JD I did wonder where it was. I guessed it might be north side, but was not sure

Here is a photo of the same street
The photographer would have been standing near the middle hall doorway in DTW's photo
( on the footpath)
The cobblestones bottom left are the entrance to the archway in DTW's photo

The windows facing you in the four storied buildings are in Lr. Gardiner street
also
the background street straight ahead was Waterford Street
( this led to Marlborough St.)

This too was due to a change of name
from
Upper Mecklenburgh and Upper Tyrone street to Waterford St.
