Henry Street, Dublin

[2] The land around Dublin's Northside was the original part of the estate of St Mary's Abbey.

[5] Properties began to be developed along Henry Street in the 1760s, with a variety of businesses and shops.

[1] Many buildings on the street were damaged or destroyed during the 1916 Easter Rising and only two 19th-century properties survived - Arnotts at Bos.

27-30 were removed to accommodate the extension of the General Post Office building on O'Connell Street in the 1920s.

[10] Buskers, including musicians, poets and mime artists, commonly perform to the shopping crowds.
