    "In the Heart of the Hibernian Metropolis BEFORE NELSON'S PILLAR TRAILS SLOWED, SHUNTED, CHANGED TROLLEY, started for Blackrock, Kingstown and Dalkey, Clonskea, Rathgar and Terenure, Palmerston park and upper Rathmines, Sandymount Green, Rathmines, Ringsend and Sandymount Tower, Harold's Cross. The hoarse Dublin United Tramway Company's timekeeper bawled them off: -- Rathgar and Terenure! -- Come on, Sandymount Green! Right and left parallel clanging ringing a doubledecker and a singledeck moved from their railheads, swerved to the down line, glided parallel. -- Start, Palmerston park!" Ulysses, the Aeolus episode. I think TRAILS should be TRAMS

Lucan Bridge, a welcome sight!

    What a very elegant bridge. From wikipedia - "... The bridge is the largest single span masonry arch bridge in Ireland, and is constructed from ashlar masonry with a span of 33 metres (110 feet) and a rise of 6.7 metres (22 feet). It is framed by iron balustraded parapets made by the Royal Phoenix ironworks of Parkgate Street in Dublin. Designed by George Knowles (architect of Dublin's Fr. Mathew and O'Donovan Rossa Bridges), it was built in 1814 in collaboration with James Savage to replace several previous bridges which were carried away by floods ...

    beachcomber australia The wikipedia article mentions a bridge washed away in 1786. On 13th May of that year Saunder's News-letter announced "Lucan Bridge is now open for carriages, being completed in a moft permanent manner, at the fole expence of Capt. Geo. Vesey". It's not clear whether this was to replace a bridge washed away earlier in the year, or whether it was to be washed away later in the year. Edit: The latter, because despite being "moft permanent" in 1786, in August 1787, in announcing plans for yet another "elegant new bridge", the same paper said: "paffengers who travel the low road are extremely terrified at paffing over the prefent ruinated one in carriages"
