| 説明 | Believe it or not this was an important street because of the Linen Hall.Today it is of interest because of BoCo one of the best Pizza Restaurants in Dublin [originally Bodkins Pub]. There Hungry Mexican was located here but has located to Aston Quay.In 1722 a centralised Linen Hall was proposed by the Linen Board and several sites around the city were considered and dismissed. In 1722 the Linen Board decided to develop a centralised Linen Hall and selected a three-acre site at the top of Capel Street. Over the next six years, the Linen Hall, designed by Thomas Burgh, was contructed and it opened for trade on November 14th, 1728. The Linen Hall contained a large trading floor and 550 compartments or bays for the storage of linen. The complex was enlarged by Thomas Cooley in 1784. However with the opening of the Belfast Linen Hall in 1783, the Dublin industry went into terminal decline and the Linen Board was abolished in 1828.As I will visit Belfast in two weeks it should be mentioned that the Linen Quarter is the area of Belfast south of the City Hall bounded by Donegall Square South/May Street, Bedford Street, Ormeau Avenue and Cromac Street. The name is derived from the great many linen manufacturers that made their homes in the area and which were so influential in the development of Belfast, a city once referred to as the "Linenopolis".The site now occupied by Belfast City Hall was once the home of the White Linen Hall, an important international linen exchange. The street which runs from the back door of Belfast City Hall through the middle of the Linen Quarter is known as Linen Hall Street.The Linen Hall Library, one of Belfast's oldest cultural institutions, that occupies a site in Donegall Square North in front of today's City Hall, started life within the walls of the White Linen Hall. |
