BELLEVILLE AVENUE OFF RATHGAR ROAD IN D6

I came across the following description of Belleville Avenue in the property section of a newspaper: “Belleville Avenue is a quiet, blink-and-you’d-miss-it cul-de-sac off Rathgar Road. There’s a pedestrian route through to Vernon Grove, which is a handy short cut over to the Upper Rathmines Rd.” The asking price for the house was Euro 1.275 million making it a bargain.

VERNON GROVE

DUBLIN STREET ART ON VIEW AT VERNON GROVE IN RATHGAR

If anyone had asked me where Vernon Grove is I would have said Clontarf as Vernon Avenue is in Clontarf.

This is not a location that I would normally visit in order to photograph street art. It is located at the Vernon Grove end of a back lane that connects to Rathgar Road via Belleville Avenue.

It is a very attractive area and I lived nearby on Frankfort Avenue early from late 1959 until late 1960.

Before then I lived on the border between Derry and Donegal and as there was no secondary school nearby in Donegal I was sent to live with my grandmother for a year and attended school in the city centre near Stephen’s Green and that is when I developed my liking for Dublin City which has remained with me until now.
