MANOR STREET PHOTOGRAPHED IN SEPTEMBER 2014

MANOR STREET 8 SEPTEMBER 2014

Stoneybatter is a neighbourhood of Dublin, Ireland, on the Northside of the city between the River Liffey, the North Circular Road, Smithfield Market, and Grangegorman. It is in the Dublin 7 postal district.

The northern end of Stoneybatter derives its name of Manor Street, bestowed in 1780, from the Manor of Grangegorman in which it was located. During the reign of Charles II (1660-1680), the Manor was held by Sir Thomas Stanley, a knight of Henry Cromwell and a staunch supporter of the Restoration. The short thoroughfare in Stoneybatter called Stanley Street is named after him.

The phone kiosk houses a defibrillator which can deliver a life-saving electric shock to a victim of cardiac arrest.

The box is located on Aughrim street at Stoneybatter Green and is the first in Dublin to be set up by the Heart of Ireland project.

Here is how the system works "When you arrive at the defibrillator box, you're asked to dial 999. Once you dial 999 you'll be put through to the ambulance service. The ambulance service will give you the PIN number over the phone and they'll dispatch a paramedic to the scene as well. If you need assistance working the defibrillator, that will be given over the phone until you're joined by the paramedic."
