Angel Alley, Dublin

[Kelger123]

Anyone know where Angel Alley might have been in 1874 Dublin?

There is a Dublin newspaper item in 1874 which places it in the vicinity of High Street, as follows:

... the House and Premises known as No. 52 High Street, with the several back houses and buildings behind the same in the lane or alley called Angel-alley, and now known as No. 53 High Street ...


Edited to add: there are other references in other years that say that Angel Alley was at the rear of 53 High Street.

Again in 1874, there is the following newspaper reference:

TO PAWNBROKERS, PROVISION DEALERS, GROCERS, &c - To be Sold with lease for ever, on very moderate terms, a large business premises in High street, consisting of spacious shop, kitchen, and six apartments, and back house with side entrances by Back lane and Angel alley.

UCD digital maps collection has some great detailed maps of the city, see Angel Court and Angel alley eastern end of High Street near to Nicholas street almost opposite St. Michael's Church on this map (rev. c1864)
