ARBOUR HILL

ARBOUR HILL FROM BEGINNING TO END – A STREET AND AN AREA

Begins with a pub and ends with a church.

These photographs date from 25th April 2016 and not much has changed except for the fact the walls of the Belfry Pub are now painted black. Previously, someone commented that the Greek Church is not on Arbour Hill road however I have included it as the entrance is, without doubt, on Arbour Hill Road and their address is 46 Arbour Hill, Stoneybatter, Dublin 7, D07 W6T7

The Parish is served by Fr. Thomas Carroll, who can be reached in 050545849. The Church has been founded by the Greek Orthodox Community of the Annunciation, and it houses the Greek School in Dublin. In addition to the Greek members there are also Irish, Palestinian, Serb and Georgian parishioners.

Arbour Hill is an inner city area of Dublin, on the Northside of the River Liffey, in the Dublin 7 postal district. Arbour Hill, the road of the same name, runs west from Blackhall Place in Stoneybatter, and separates Collins Barracks, now part of the National Museum of Ireland, to the south from Arbour Hill Prison to the north, whose graveyard includes the burial plot of the signatories of the Easter Proclamation that began the 1916 Rising.

CLOSED AFTER 100 YEARS

January 29, 2020 by Infomatique

THE HILL PUB CLOSED AFTER 100 YEARS IN BUSINESS

In June 2019 it was announced that this hundred year old pub would cease trading immediately. Over the years it operated under different names such as “Butlers”and “McGrath’s”.

At the centre of Ranelagh is “Ranelagh Triangle”, semi-officially “the Angle”, which is the junction of Ranelagh Village and Charleston Road at Field’s Terrace. Nearby restaurant “Tribeca” references these geographical features (i.e., Tri-angle Be-low Ca-nal). To the North of the Triangle is the “Hill Area” of Ranelagh, which was the scene of Lee Dunne’s novel, “Goodbye to the Hill”. Ranelagh contains many fine Victorian streets such as those surrounding Mount Pleasant Square.

BLACK HORSE INN

January 10, 2020 by Infomatique

Today I visited the Inchicore area of Dublin and I used a 14mm wide-angle lens so you may notice some distortion

The Black Horse Inn (Kelly’s) was located on the banks of the Grand Canal in Inchicore beside the Black Horse Luas Tram stop [named after the pub not the other war around].

In December 2018 the owner of the Black Horse applied for planning permission to build a block of apartments. The proposal consisted of the demolition of the former public house and an adjoining pair of semi-detached houses at numbers 229 and 231 Tyrconnell Road.

In June 2011 RTE reported that a man had been killed and another had been injured in a shooting at the Black Horse Inn in the early hours of the morning. The shooting was carried out by a lone gunman who fled the scene on foot but fired more shots in the direction of the pub as he left. It was also reported that about an hour prior to the fatal shooting, two armed men entered the same pub. At the time it was believed that the killing was in retaliation for the murder of a youth on the banks of the Grand Canal three years earlier.
