VINTAGE TRAM CAFE AT WOLFE TONE SQUARE [AN INTERESTING IDEA] REF-115607
It came from Lisbon, Portugal and was cannibalised at Llandudno & Colwyn Bay Tram Society in Wales for its bogie and motor. The body part left over made its way to Ireland and there it is! If the Society did not purchase 305, it may well have ended up with the cutter's torch in Portugal. Can you believe that!
CLARKE’S CITY ARMS [MENTIONED IN JAMES JOYCE’S ULYSSES]
Every building in Dublin has a story attached to it and Clarke’s Pub is not an exception to that rule.
No. 55 Prussia street was the address of the City Arms Hotel. Before it became a hotel it was occupied by the Jameson family [the whiskey family].
In the late 1700's the premises were home to H.S. Reilly, the Royal Canal director after whom the canal bridge at Rathoath Road is named.
John Jameson was the occupier of the premises according to the Primary Valuation of 1850, when the house together with the outhouses a yard and some land had a listed valuation of £126 per annum.
James Joyce frequented the City Arms Hotel when he lived in St. Peters Terrace, Phibsboro.
The ‘Joycean’ characters Leopold and Molly Bloom lived in room number ‘9’ from 1893 to 1894 while Bloom was employed as a clerk in the Cattle Market which was situated beside the building on the junction of Prussia Street and the North Circular Road.
