KIRWAN STREET IN STONEYBATTER

by

PHOTOGRAPHED USING A VERY OLD CANON CAMERA

Kirwan Street is located in the historic Stoneybatter neighbourhood on the Northside of Dublin. It’s known for its charming rows of artisan cottages.

Kirwan Street and many of the surrounding streets were developed by the Dublin Artisan’s Dwellings Company in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This organisation aimed to provide better housing for working-class families.

The street is named after an important family in the city of Galway, though the precise connection to Dublin is uncertain.

Kirwan Street features primarily small, terraced “artisan cottages”. These houses provide a quaint and historic charm that is increasingly sought-after.

The neighbourhood of Stoneybatter has undergone gentrification in recent years, making it a more popular area to live.

Kirwan Street offers a blend of traditional Dublin atmosphere with easy access to amenities and the city centre.

I am working my way through my old cameras and today it was the Canon 1Ds MkIII.

I had forgotten how to set up this camera and had forgotten that for best results I should avoid auto-focus as it was a constant source of problems in the past. Today the camera with a Sigma 24-105mm lens froze twice before I remembered to switch to manual. Also because I had selected ISO100 the photographs were underexposed so I pre-processed the files using DXO PureRaw4.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT AT BROADSTONE

The Broadstone tram stop is located on the Luas Green Line, which runs through the city centre of Dublin. The stop is served by trams in both directions, and it is a popular connection for people traveling to and from the Grangegorman University Campus.

The Broadstone tram stop was opened in 2017, as part of the Luas Cross City project. The project extended the Green Line north from St. Stephen’s Green to Broombridge, and it included the construction of a new tram stop at Broadstone.

The Broadstone tram stop is a modern, accessible facility, and it is equipped with ticket machines, seating, and a waiting shelter. The stop is also located close to a number of bus stops, making it a convenient connection for people using public transportation. It is also my local tram stop which I use almost daily in preference to the Dominick Street tram stop.
