7 MOUNT BROWNE KILMAINHAM
Despite the sign the band has been active, in some form, since 1737, and are Ireland’s oldest band. However it was formally founded in 1800 as an amalgamation of a number of smaller bands.
ST JAMES’S BRASS AND REED BAND
Kilmainham
ORIGINALLY MURDERING LANE AND NOW CROMWELL’S QUARTERS
LOCALLY KNOWN AS THE 40 STEPS
The amount of litter to be seen is disappointing to say the least.
There is a small pedestrian lane that connect James’s Street on the south to Bow Lane West on the north. It was previously known as Murdering Lane or The Murd’ring Lane, and first appeared on maps in 1603, until it was renamed ‘Cromwell’s Quarters’ around 1892 when Alderman McSwiney called for the lane to be renamed in order to “preserve historical continuity”. The Cromwell in question was not Oliver Cromwell but his son Henry, who became Lord Deputy of Ireland in 1657. It is currently an unmarked pedestrian stepped alley. The lane is also locally referred to as “The Forty Steps”, even though there are only 39.
There is a laneway with forty steps, beside Dublin Castle, connecting Ship Street to Castle Street. It is, officially, Hoey’s Court but local tourist guides refer to it as Dean Swift Alley as 100ft from here Jonathan Swift was born in 1667. He was the Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and a celebrated author and satirist.
To add to the confusion Swift’s Alley Free Church was an Episcopal Church of Ireland chapel in Swift’s Alley and Francis Street. In 1653, a Baptist meeting-house (the first in Ireland) was established by Thomas Patient in Swift’s Alley, Dublin, the essayist and baptist John Foster preached there in 1795 as the congregation dwindled. In 1835, it was sold, and an Episcopal Chapel was established, the church was officially consecrated in 1843 by the Church of Ireland. The church had a Sunday School and Fellowship Society.
BOW LANE WEST FROM JAMES’S STREET TO BOW BRIDGE
NOVEMBER 2022
Bow Lane West runs from Bow Bridge to James’s Street along the southern side of St Patrick’s University Hospital. Bow Bridge crosses the River Camac.
Bow Lane West first appears on maps of Dublin with John Rocque’s map of 1756. Neither Bow Lane West nor Bow Bridge appear on early maps of Dublin as they lay outside the city gates. In 1862, the area was predominately tenements.

HEUSTON SOUTH QUARTER [I HEAR YOU SAY – WHY VISIT AGAIN]
HEUSTON SOUTH QUARTER [I HEAR YOU SAY – WHY VISIT AGAIN?]
The last time I visited the Heuston South Quarter there were rain drops on my lens so some of the images contained multiple distortions. Today I discovered that my batteries were depleted[ I had put the wrong ones in the grip] and also my Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max had failed to charge … when things go wrong they keep going wrong. Anyway, I decided that I had no option but to use my iPhone XR which produced HEIC files which I could not use in previous versions of Lightroom. When I returned I was impressed by the HEIC images as they were better than I had expected.
It should be noted that I needed to convert HEIC to JPEG, after processing them, in order to publish them.
The initial phases of the Heuston South Quarter (HSQ) complex were completed between 2005 and 2008 and resulted in six buildings with office, residential and retail accommodation. However, it includes a 3.63 acre development site with appropriate zoning and late in 2021 an application to build almost 400 apartments near the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin was lodged with the planning board.
According to the Office of Public Works (OPW) A 399 unit ‘built to rent’ apartment scheme reaching to 18 storeys in height will have “an unacceptable impact” on one of Ireland’s most important built heritage sites, Royal Hospital Kilmainham (RHK) and its gardens. The OPW informed An Bord Pleanala that the next phase of the Heuston South Quarter (HSQ) scheme “would have a significant detrimental impact on the architectural and historical setting of the Royal Hospital building”.
