North Wall, Dublin

The name refers to the North Bull Wall, which was constructed to form Dublin Port, extend the Liffey estuary and reclaim land at various stages from the early 1700s until its final completion around 1825.

The North Lotts area was mainly created between 1717 and 1729 after Dublin Corporation had earlier in 1717-18 drawn lots and distributed the land between themselves in this manner.

By around 1750, the area had been fully reclaimed and was no longer overflowed by sea water at high tide.

The area is dominated by a combination of new apartment blocks and offices, many created through the Docklands Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme, as well as older dockers housing and dockland and recreational activities.

Large developments in the area include Spencer Dock, Dublin Landings and the Point Village.
