O’Connell Street
The area covered in this print shows the
city centre, from O’Connell Street (formerly Sackville Street) in the north,
running southwards to O’Connell Bridge, parts of the Quays, D’Olier Street and
Westmorland Street, to Grafton Street and St. Stephen’s Green. Also marked are
the Millennium Spire, the iconic centre of contemporary Dublin, erected on the
site of Nelson’s Pillar, the centre of the Dublin of 1904. At that time the
pillar was the terminus for the tram system which is mapped out in detail in Ulysses. Also mapped in
this print are the various routes Bloom followed crossing the city on 16th June
1904 in Ulysses.
Other landmarks include the General Post
Office, the O’Connell Monument, the Bank of Ireland, (formerly the seat of the
Irish Parliament), the Abbey Theatre
which opened in 1904, the former Theatre Royal, the Central Bank and the
National Library.
