Maquay’s Bridge
Dublín, IRLANDA 2024
Maquay's Bridge is a historic crossing that spans the Grand Canal in Dublin, not the River Liffey. It is situated near Grand Canal Street and the Grand Canal Basin in the Docklands area. The original bridge was constructed in 1791 and named after George Maquay, a banker and director of the Grand Canal Company. Its location is notable for its proximity to old docklands industries and the site of the 1916 Easter Rising at Boland's Mill. The bridge marks the entrance to the first lock on the canal. The structure today likely dates from a later reconstruction, possibly in the 1930s. Nowadays, the surrounding area is a mix of industrial heritage and modern office blocks, including the nearby Aviva Stadium.
