Abbey Street

PHOTOGRAPHED USING THE HALIDE APP

There seems to be a LR bug or a problem with the Halide Camera App – I say this because all of my recent iPhone photographs have a pink tint that is difficult to correct.

The Three Sections of Abbey Street in Dublin

Abbey Street, a prominent thoroughfare on Dublin’s Northside, stretches approximately 1 km from the Customs House in the east to Capel Street in the west, where it continues as Mary’s Abbey. The street is divided into three distinct sections:

1. Abbey Street Lower (East End)

Beginning at the Customs House and Beresford Place, Abbey Street Lower features a mix of historic and modern buildings. It’s home to the iconic Abbey Theatre, a cultural landmark central to Ireland’s theatrical heritage. The street’s lower end is also marked by a vibrant commercial scene, with shops, cafes, and restaurants catering to locals and visitors alike.

2. Abbey Street Middle

The middle section of Abbey Street connects the lower and upper parts, characterised by a bustling atmosphere. The Luas Red Line stop at Jervis Street adds to the dynamism, making it a convenient access point for exploring the city. Several notable establishments, including the Irish Life Mall and Arnotts department store, lie within this section.

3. Abbey Street Upper (West End)

Transitioning towards Capel Street, Abbey Street Upper retains its lively character with a blend of commercial and residential buildings. It leads to the Jervis Street Shopping Centre, a popular retail destination. This section also encompasses the historic St. Mary’s Abbey site, lending a touch of historical significance to the area.
