FROM THE POST OFFICE TO PARKVIEW AVENUE
As I have to visit Harold’s Cross once a week and travel there and back by bus but today I decided to walk to Rathmines via Parkview Avenue and explore a number of back lanes that I have never visited until now.
Harold’s Cross is named after the Anglo-Norman Harold family, who owned the land for generations when it was also known as ‘Harold’s Grange’, or effectively farmhouse. According to some local accounts the farmhouse had a turret or watchtower, and was located just a little past the crossroads.
