PICTURE – Old Dublin Street Names, Seems There Was A Lot Of Gruesome Stuff Going On

Murdering Lane, Cutthroat Lane, World's End Lane...

The street names from the capital have changed occasionally over the years, particularly when we gained our independence and every street was named after a revolutionary leader.

This clipping from the 1980’s Taxi News shows some of the old street names for the city before they changed.

Amazing stuff, but a lot of questionable names!
