Originally named the Wellington Bridge, renamed the Liffey Bridge, universally known as the Ha'penny Bridge and a symbol of Dublin - it was actually cast at Coalbrookdale and retains features that come from the very first Iron Bridge - but by 1816 (when it was opened) they'd learnt to exploit the qualities of cast iron. Its strength and lightness allows a single span with only a moderate arch (not too great a "hump"). It compares with the great Iron Bridges over the Severn and remains a little bit of the English Midlands forever naturalised into the Dublin landscape Liberty Hall is the headquarters of SIPTU, formerly the Irish Transport and General Workers Union - founded by Jim Larkin The Custom House was just that.

Green marks mineralising calcareous springs - a protected habitat formed from water percolating through the glacial till overlying the shale. These springs were an attractive feature for earlier "health-based" tourism, where drinking springwater and seabathing were used to combat gout and lead poisoning from 18th-century urban lifestyles (eg Scarborough). Springs provide a habitat for mosses, etc which need calcareous - not acid substrate of the land above CUCR Coastal cliffs and rocks HLC-type
