O’Connell Bridge, Dublin, Ireland
O'Connell is the most popular, very busy bridge when you are crossing River Liffey. It is located in the heart of Dublin and joining O'Connell Street to D'Olier Street. The bridge is fairly unique in that its width is slightly greater than its length. During the 17th cent. it was a narrow street known as Drogheda Street (named after Henry Moore, Earl of Drogheda) it was widened and renamed 'Sackville Street' (named after Lionel Sackville, 1st Duke of Dorset) in the late 1700s until 1924 when it was renamed in honour of Daniel O'Connell, a nationalist leader of the early 19th century whose statue stands at the lower end of the street, facing O'Connell Bridge. But be aware there are always beggars and pick pockets around here!
