On a previous visit I was told that this is a "folly" but today I realised that is [was] a shell house. It would appear that it was decorated with shells inside rather than outside.

During the last ten days I made three visits to the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham as I wanted to video a multi-media installation located in the courtyard but unfortunately no matter what equipment I have used, to date, I had problems with wind noise and unstable video because the equipment was hand-held but I feel that the iPhone XR produced better results that my Sony A7RIV. Next visit I will bring a tripod and a camcorder.
In the 18th century, a tavern on the street, the Bull's Head, was one of the most popular and well-known establishments in Dublin, and was in demand for anniversary and celebratory dinners by the various city guilds and bodies. It also provided accommodation for assemblies of the Grand Lodge of Irish Freemasons. The Bull's Head Musical Society was also well known and undertook the building of a Music Hall which was formally opened in 1741.
