It’s easy to confuse Montpelier Hill in Dublin 7 with its more famous namesake – the mountain crowned by the infamous Hellfire Club. However, this Montpelier Hill offers a unique blend of history, community spirit, and urban renewal.
This vital east-west route is undergoing a transformation, thanks to the Stoneybatter Greening Strategy and Dublin City Council initiatives.
A Greener, Safer, and More Sustainable Street
The project focuses on improving the streetscape for residents and visitors alike:
Sustainable Drainage: Innovative rain gardens are being implemented to manage rainwater run-off, easing pressure on the city’s drainage system and promoting a healthier environment.
Urban Greening: Newly planted trees will enhance air quality, provide welcome shade, and create a more inviting atmosphere.
Traffic Calming: Road narrowing and clear markings aim to reduce vehicle speeds, prioritising pedestrian and cyclist safety.
Pedestrian Priority: Wider footpaths will enhance accessibility and comfort for those on foot.
Benefits for the Community
This revitalisation project offers numerous benefits:
Environmental Sustainability: The rain gardens and tree planting contribute to a greener, more resilient urban environment.
Enhanced Safety: Traffic calming measures and wider footpaths improve safety for all road users.
Improved Streetscape: The project aims to create a more visually appealing and welcoming street.
A Street with Stories to Tell
Montpelier Hill is more than just bricks and mortar; it’s a place with a rich history and a strong community spirit.
“To Jenny”: A Reminder of Community Action: Though the artwork is gone, the words “To Jenny” remain at the corner of Montpelier Hill and Infirmary Road. This inscription commemorates a remarkable campaign led by Jenny and a group of local women who, from 2003 to 2006, took a stand against kerb crawlers in the area. Their nightly vigils (except for Bingo Tuesdays!) served as a warning to those exploiting vulnerable women and ultimately contributed to a change in legislation in 2017, criminalising the purchase of sex.
Cambridge House: Awaiting its Renaissance: Just off Infirmary Road stands Cambridge House, a grand period residence dating back to the 18th century. This imposing building, now in need of restoration, was once home to Prince Adolphus, the 2nd Duke of Cambridge and Commander of the Armed Forces in Dublin (1846-1851). With its high ceilings, tall sash windows, and elegant proportions, Cambridge House holds the potential to be restored to its former glory. It presents a unique opportunity for conservationists and history enthusiasts to preserve a tangible link to Dublin’s past.
