Dear Peter! It was very interesting to hear the history of the streets of Dublin, to look back into the past. These streets hide many things that have happened, but with your help they become known. Great video! Thanks for the experience.
Dear Susan. Thank you so much for walking along with me through the streets of Dublin. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video and history. Have a wonderful evening 🇮🇪 Peter.
Even though I’m a County Meath “Culchie” now living in Manchester, my Granny on my Dad’s side was a Dublin Liberties “Mot” from Liffey St and descended from the Protestant Huguenots in France, she was a child during the height of the fighting in 1916 and was pulled inside by a Dublin woman who drenched her with Holy Water where she met my Wicklow Catholic grandfather and eventually married him, for which she was disowned by her Protestant family - through my years working in Superquinn and my aunt on my Mum’s side lived in Cork St (my uncle was a Dub) I’ve always had a great affection for the Dubliners, especially the Dealers in Moore St - I’d lived in Stoneybatter for 3 years and I’d previously got to see the Smithfield Market when Dad was a gardener of vegetables - Grandad worked in the CIE railway works in Inchicore while making altar things for the Oblate Fathers and Granny used to go to Johns Lane Church in the Liberties, as she had a devotion to Saint Rita - my Mum’s side of the family was from Tipperary & Waterford with connections to Limerick (Castletroy) and Mum even knew Sinead O’ Connor’s Mother from Glenageary and Limerick (the Good Shepherd Nuns) - now when I come home, I’m firm friends with Sr Brigid & Sr Carmel of the Poor Clare Sisters in Dublin who are my Dad’s former employers and good friends of our family since I was a child
Excellent and informative! Can you please do a video about the handball alley at Bridgefoot street, formerly a "Debtor's prison"?? I am eager to discover more of the history of these seemingly nighmareish and little known about places. Thank you!!
This is really interesting hearing these stories of actual events that happened in Dublin all of those many years ago and I really liked hearing your narration thank you Peter.🍻☕👋🇮🇪
I recently discovered that many Irish people falsified their ages to make themselves older after the 1901 census because the Brits introduced the pension in 1909. Found some of my own relatives 'aged' by 18 years between 1901 and 1911. The test for whether or not someone qualified was whether or not they remembered Oíche na Gaoithe Móire in 1839
Infant mortality was high and it was common for newborns to be named after a deceased sibling. (Of course, this would make them "appear to be younger")
Loving your street vids. Maccready's work is imperfect but a brilliant starting point for researching the origins of street names. One street that escapes him and many others afterwards is one i live near. Seville Place. Just cant nail down the exact reason for its naming be it oranges, the city or something else.
And Amiens Street just off Seville Place. Just off Seville Place past the arch lst turn left is Coburg Place. 2nd left is Oriel Street. So Spanish German & French. Then also off Oriel Street there was Whitworth Row Jane Place Eluzabeth Terrace & Virginia Terrace. Most likely British monarchy. I was born & raised in Jane place but we called it Plas Sinead
@@mauraorourke9849 The Baron Oriel, The various Lord Aldboroughs also had the title Viscount Amiens named for an ancestor who supposedly came from Amiens and crossed into England with William the Conquerer of all people. And of course the Windsor's real name was Saxe-Coburg-Gothe. Far too many nobility and monarchs with long lasting reach for my liking. Always wondered about Jane Place.
Thanks for this, I worked in Mount Brown Hostel and never knew the name of the steps at the side of it was called Murdering lane. Was the workhouse facing it called Bedlam?Also my father would bring me to the steps now closed that lead to Audeons church at the wall of Dublin. It's a disgrace that these steps are not a preserved landmark. The locals called these the 40 steps back in the day where you could see the green lady. My father was from Oliver Bond flats beside it so I got the grand tour every Sunday morning, and then on to the bird market.
Thank you for watching. A portion of the workhouse was a mental hospital so I'm guessing that was the Bedlam on the map. I would love to see those steps open to!
For that keysar lane, well Keysar is derived from the German word kaiser, which means emperor. This was originally derived from the German word keiser, which in turn came from the Old German word keisar, these both were derived from the Latin imperial title Caesar, which was originally a family name.
There's a Keyser lane in Wexford as well that leads from the main st to the Quay. The plaque there says "Keyser" is a Norse word from the Viking times and that its more related to the Quays .......
@@conallmooney2457 well the vikings came in too and robbed what we had, and they used the ports for slave markets, I read that, People were a valuable export for Ireland during the Viking age. Vikings took Irishmen and Irishwomen as slaves, or thralls in Old Norse, to establish control after a raid as quickly as possible. These slaves could then be used by the Vikings themselves, sent back to Scandinavia, or used as a bartering tool for expensive goods from eastern markets. Viking Dublin had one of the largest slave markets in Europe along its docks and quays!
The house on the 40 steps was called the step house. And the top of the steps was the handbag factory. The 40 steps was a hang out for the teenagers and if you got there early you got to sit on the window sill and just chat for hours as people came and went.
Our late Dad knew people in Christ Church Cathedral and there was nothing better for us, as children, to be locked in to the old stocks (pillory) then they would turn off the lights and lock the crypt door..... That was before health and safety and making the crypt visitor safe!
DEAR PETER I USED TO SELL MYSELF WHEN I WAS 14 TILL I WAS 30.I SEEN GIRLS KILLED,TAKEN AND NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN.I WAS HOMELESS AND ADDICTED TO HEROIN AT 11,I WAS USING NEEDLES BY 121/2 I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HIV,HEP B AND C.COPD,PTSD,DEPRESSION I HAVE THE ALPHABET DUE TO STUPID DECISIONS AND THE NEED TO FIT IN.I'M PROUD THAT JAMES JOYCE WAS MY GREAT GRANDAD BUT I KNOW HOW MUCH HE FOUGHT AS MY DAD WAS A HUNGER STRIKER WITH BOBBY,FRANCIS AND OUR IRISH HERO'S
20:30 i would prefer that, in modern-day Dublin, that would be class. Im tired of the local authorities ripping everything down and removing all the original cobble streets. Go across Europe, and it's embraced and put on show. Thanks for this video. It was very interesting.
I live just around the corner from Mary's abbey my friends mother had the only key years ago when we were growing up around the fruit 🍑 and vegetables market 😂 I'm still here unfortunately my friend John Coleman and his mother Margaret are gone the area has changed since the days we played as kids gentrification had taken place with hotels and coffee shops replacing fruit merchants and pub's 😂😂😂

Hi Rory. That's so interesting and probably explains what was going on in this case. Thanks for watching 👍
Infant mortality was high and it was common for newborns to be named after a deceased sibling. (Of course, this would make them "appear to be younger")
Correct!!

Man the docks are still miserable, before it was a misery of decay, now its a misery of glass and concrete.

Keyser (now Keizer) means emperor in Dutch

My nanny was there
I was born just up the road from the 40 steps. James’s hospital. Never knew it was the 40 steps that was called murdering lane.
Thanks for watching

Our late Dad knew people in Christ Church Cathedral and there was nothing better for us, as children, to be locked in to the old stocks (pillory) then they would turn off the lights and lock the crypt door..... That was before health and safety and making the crypt visitor safe!
That sounds amazing!

We could at least have something a bit better then raising a flag.
