Four Roads to Dublin
The History of Rathmines, Ranelagh and Leeson Street
by Deirdre Kelly
|
|
A detailed and illuminating account of Dublin's most important eighteenth-century and Victorian southside suburbs, examining their rich layers of history, their growth and development, special features, famous inhabitants. The author lived in this area all her life and spent her time delving into old maps and records- and often preventing the destruction of beautiful features of the streetscape. The book is illustrated throughout with maps, photos and drawings.
