By this stage, the committee formed to administer the estate had yet to finish the paving of Smithfield. This was funded through the twenty shilling fines paid to Desmyniers by the leaseholders and by a subsequent donation from Sir Daniel Bellingham, the first lord mayor of the city.
Once the building work had started, only one major infrastructural requirement was necessary to consolidate the development of the area: this was to fortify it against the high tides and flash flooding which periodically inundated the new streets. The consolidation of the shoreline began in when William Ellis, at the instigation of Ormond, was granted the entire strand running from the Old Bridge westwards to the Parkgate, a total distance of 1.
He began by concentrating his efforts on what is now Arran Quay, building the quay wall, and reclaiming the land behind it. A distinct building phase in Smithfield is associated with the construction of the quays, as the engineering works provided a supply of water-rolled cobbles that were used in the construction of the plot walls and latrines of this period.
This may be an early indicator of the eventual failure of the development as a residential quarter, for the domestic use of coal was not yet common and it was very much a raw material for industries as diverse as distilling, iron working and indeed glassmaking. The corporation then made a grant of land in Oxmantown Green for the new church and graveyard of St Paul, the entrance being on North King Street. Today we are looking at the urban village of Stoneybatter in Dublin.

Easily the best thing about living in Stoneybatter is despite its very handy proximity to the city centre, it retains an amazing everybody-knows-everybody village vibe.
That friendly community feel has become even more apparent to me since the birth of my son two years ago. Grangegorman campus has been an amazing addition too. View this post on Instagram. My main bugbear is the traffic. At its busiest, the traffic definitely erases some of the small-town feel I love so much about Stoneybatter. Short URL. About the author:. Michael Freeman.
