A chancery was a legal records office and a common law court. ○Christ Church Place The current name is obvious, but it was originally called Skinner's Row. This part of the city was the medieval centre of the skinning and tannery industry in Dublin. High Street nearby also had concentration of the leather trade. ○College Green Know as Hoggen Green during the Viking era. Hoggen is a Norse term for a burial mound. The Viking "Thingmote" place of assembly was nearby. ○College Street Although the origin seems obvious, originally Trinity was going to build an entrance to the college here at the end of D'Olier Street. It was intended to be aesthetically pleasing, part of the Georgian vista down D'Olier and Drogheda Streets. ○Cornmarket The site of the original medieval corn and grain market. ○ESSEX GATE The Earl of Essex was also a member of the Capel family.

The area used to be the edge of the Liffeys south bank along with Temple Bar. ○FISHAMBLE STREET An evocative name for the area in medieval Dublin, which was the heart of the fish processing industry. ○FRANCIS STREET Nearby in the Middle Ages was the mendicant ( meaning seeking charity, begging) friary of St Francis. ○GARDINER STREET One of the most misspelt names. Luke Gardiner. At one stage the wealthy and influential Gardiner clann owned 25% of the city, between the canals! ○GRAND CANAL STREET pretty self explanatory however it was previously called Artichoke Road because a well loved Huguenot called John Villiboise loved here in the mid 18th century and grew an impressive annual crop of artichokes in his garden. ○HANOVER QUAY George I was Elector of Hanover. An Elector being someone from the aristocracy installed by the Holy Roman Empire to rule a given area. Georgie boy was also invited to sit on the British throne in 1714 . ○JERVIS STREET Sir Humphrey Jervis was Lord Mayor of Dublin. A businessman and philanthropist. ○LITTLE SHIP STREET It's a cute name for what was originally Poole Street. Named for the famous black pool behind Dublin castle. Of course, this black pool (dubh linn) gives our city its name in English. PART 2/2 to follow...
