South William Street, laid out in 1676 by William Williams, was part of the expansion of Dublin in the 17th century as the city outgrew the medieval walls. The street became a prominent area of the city in the 18th century and what can be seen today is mainly a legacy from that era. Today, the street has one of the largest and most complete groups of 18th century merchants' houses in Dublin.
I have noticed this mural a number of times but what I never noticed was that the street is closed to through-traffic. I checked online and here is the description that I found: "The street "Stirrup Lane" is located in the southeast of Dublin 7. It is about 72 meters long and the maximum speed here is at 30 km/h." I checked some photographs from February 2019 and they were no planters blocking through-traffic.
