Aungier Street Dublin

Named after the Aungier Family who acquired the lands of the Carmelite Monastery which was here. The street was driven through an oval plot of land which traditionally had not been built on as it was the site of an old pool. In plan, the surrounding streets can be seen to curve around this area until Aungier Street was built.
