      Hi,

      Does anyone know if the site now occupied by The Iveagh Trust flats on Upr. Kevin St / New Bride Street in Dublin was previously occupied by cottages known as St. Kevins Cottages?

      I have a vague recollection of seeing a reference to the cottages on some old family document ( from the late 19th century, IIRC)
      but can no longer find it.

      Any help would be appreciated.

      Regards,
      John.

      Have a look at ‘Dublin through Space and Time by Angrett Simms and Joe Brady. It does not mention the cottages you are looking for, but it would be a good reference point to start as it deals with the Iveagh Trust scheme. It will probably refer you to look at work by Frederick Aalen, which I know dealt in detail with this part of the city during the 19th century. Best of luck with your research.

      Fantastic chimneys on this scheme – look very sinister from certain angles…

      Thanks. Checked out this book today and found it useful. Just a small amount of legwork needed now methinks.
