THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE
June 1921 in the midst of the Irish War of Independence local Head Constable Fry of the Royal Irish Constabulary was shot as he walked along London Bridge Road with his wife.
ALL IN THE NAME
London Bridge: The name of a wooden bridge that crossed the unruly River Dodder, built in the first years of the 19th century as a link between the Beggars Bush Barracks and St Matthew’s Church in Irishtown. The present three-span masonry arched bridge was installed in 1857. The river wall between London Bridge and New Bridge was considerably strengthened in 2007 and 2008.
Ennis Grove: Named for Edward Ennis (1883 – 1916), a local man accidentally killed in crossfire during the 1916 Rising.
Bath Avenue: Opened in 1792 and probably named for the bathing establishments on Irishtown Strand to which it connected. Some suggest a connection to the Marquess of Bath who was responsible for the maintenance of all British and Irish Coastguard Stations and Lighthouses, including Poolbeg. All houses on the south side of Bath Avenue were built between 1840 and 1872; before that this was a salt marsh and the road a mere lane.
