What area is the northside shopping centre

BogWog

Can anyone here from that area tell me what area the northside shopping centres in. Everyone I know from Coolock tells me its not in Coolock but they can't tell me what the area really is. If its not Coolock what is it Santry? The Plex is definitely Coolock noone can dispute that and the Northsides in between Santry and the Plex so its either Coolock, Santy, or some area in between Coolock and Santry.

The Howth East Quarter, I would have thought.

Seriously though, my uncle lives nearby and I'm sure he calls it Coolock.

BogWog

I've seen signs around there saying Coolock, Bonnybrook and Clonslaugh. I've never even heard of Bonnybrook. Where does Santry end? I thought anything west of the swords road was Ballymun and everything east was Santry.

Yea **** it Im gonna keep calling it Coolock too until someone can tell me what area it is if its not Coolock.

no, a lot of santry is west of swords road too. Santry hits beaumont to the south east, but is seperated from Coolock by a fair distance. This map gives you a rough idea.

BogWog

Thanks. Someone should make a proper area map of Dublin that lists all the areas. Driving down the Malahide road into town according to the shop signs one minute your in Artane next minute your in Donnycarney, then your back in Artane again then once you get to the Clontarf road none of the shops can agree on whether its Fairview, Marino or Clontarf.

Bonnybrook is up around the Cadburys Factory. Not too far from UCI Coolock, other side of the road

Northside SC is Coolock, I agree with others here

ROFL!

Northside is in Coolock.

RaverRo808

Well technically its in Kilmore,but thats an area within Coolock,its Coolock without a doubt,Santry's a good 15 minute drive from there,Santry would end at Lorcan Drive and then your in Castletimon which is Coolock

spurious

This is the same old problem that comes up regularly here. The old parishes - Coolock, Raheny etc., and 'new' places like Clonshaugh, Bonnybrook, Edenmore.

Northside SC is in Coolock.

Quint

There's no official borders for the names of areas in Dublin. That's why Finglas east and ballymun have turned into Glasnevin. in 10 years there will be no Swords, and Malahide will be all of dublin north of the M50, and include Balbriggan!

RaverRo808

Yeah its greedy estate agents,businesses and snobby people,changing addresses to make an area more 'respectable' like Cabra Park being in Phibsboro if that makes sense and parts of Cabra West being called Navan Road,which is just a road.remember old Finglas Road,now called Glasnevin Avenue,and Aryfield being Malahide Road and Clongriffin,not Coolock,residents in D4 actually tried to have Ringsend and Pearse Street turned into D4E,it was parodied in the Ross O'Carrol Kelly books,but it was based on truth!

I'm from the area.

It is definitely in Coolock. Definitely.

As are the UCI, Plex and Power City list that branch as Coolock too.

Coolock starts at St Brendan's Church, the old village and goes up to Lorcan, accross to the N32 at Clonshaugh, to include Darndale, Priorswood.

However, the estates in behind the UCI, I wouldn't class as Coolock, Ard Na Greine etc, they are in D13, which is not Coolock as far as I am aware.

Artane goes from St Brendan's Church, off over to that church called Artane Church, down areound the Goblet pub and up to the Rec, near Artane Castle, down the Kilmore Road to Northside, and that moon estate.

The receipt i got in Dunnes on Sunday said Coolock on it and that was a postal address.

Wishbone Ash

Northside SC has always been in Coolock for me!

Pearse Street is in Dublin 2. Dublin 4 doesn't begin until one has crossed McMahon Bridge over the Grand Canal Basin at Boland's Mills.

lostexpectation

i can see what they say about it not being in coolock, but then most of the northside used to be coolock.

its in Electroal district and townland Kilmore C, so its Kilmore,coolock

lostexpectation

this map shows you the townlands when you zoom in http://maps.epa.ie/InternetMapViewer/MapViewer.aspx

I would agree, there are several definitions of Coolock though ranging from the village & the parish to the barony (which covers most of north Dublin).
I remember reading a planning permission notice in the airport last year, the full address included 'Barony of Coolock' at the end.

Very interesting.

Thanks for link SteveC

Coolock, but for people from the area it's best to say Kilmore to be more specific.

Not a chance.

Kilmore is the other side of the Oscar Traynor Road, where the flats are, off the Kilmore Road.

Northside could possibly be considered to be in Bunratty or Clonshaugh at a stretch.

kilmore is on the other side of that green with that tunnel it. Northside sc is in coolock. As far as i know the address of that health center is coolock too.

Well I'm old enough to remember when that whole area was nothing but fields. There used to be a crossroads there where the traffic lights are now and it was Clonshaugh Cross. Then to the Santry side there was a twisty road on the side where the shopping centre is now and that was known as Clonshaugh Lane... up there used to be Clonshaugh Riding School (shurrup it was horses) and Clonshaugh Post Office. So I suppose it must be....

Clonshaugh!

Then again Ballymun Cross is now Santry Cross.

So now I'm lost! Anyone be able to direct me to Fairfield please?

How long ago was this..?

Probably pre-decimalisation!!

In all seriousness though, my grandad used a butchers in the shopping centre and used to say he was going to Clonshaugh to get his meat. It kind of stuck with me. The problem is the developers getting the boundaries moved over the years

Beginning of the '60s. I worked as a messenger boy for Liptons (they used to have a branch on St Brigids Rd at the roundabout) and used to cycle around that whole area on my delivery bike.

I would like to take this opportunity to claim the vacant throne(?) as the Baron of Coolock. You lot, as my loyal serfs shall pay me a tithe of five groats and a buxom maiden for the privilege of using Northside SC. That is all, back to your plagues and pestilence. Peasants!

I'm from Clonshaugh, and to be honest I wouldn't call it Coolock. If I was pushed, I'd call it Coolock, but for me, it's just a little too far away from there. By that reasoning, Kilmore is much more closer.

In fact, I've never actually referred to it as being in any area. I've worked in there and went to school in Colaiste Dhulaigh beside it, and on resumes, I had always just used Dublin 17 as the address. It's definitely not Clonshaugh either.

Like I said, if pushed, I'd go for Coolock, I guess.

For what it's worth, looking at a copy of the 1937 ordnance survey map here, the two areas where the shopping centre is now were called Bonnybrook and Shrubs (both named for big houses in the vicinity which are no longer there). Bonnybrook is still a name that's used in the area, but Shrubs is non-existent.

Northside is defo Coolock, from Northside to the plex and back up the malahide road to Darndale is coolcok, All Dublin 17. Northside has a post code of Dublin 17. it can't be Kilmore, as they use Dublin 5 as there postcode.

admiralofthefleet

i would say clonshaugh

Erm

Coolock Village is in Dublin 5 too.

My mother's house, which has a Coolock address, is also in Dublin 5.

Kilmore West is not Coolock, but the Moon Estate, and the estate further along, opposite the funeral home, Coolock Garda Station, Coolock Village are all in Dublin 5 and in Coolock.

Actually, Dublin 17 has less of a claim to being Coolock than the places mentioned, as they are in closer proximity to the original Coolock Village.

The Oscar Traynor, which seperates D17 from D5 runs through Coolock.

Rashers

I lived in Coolock at the time the post codes were introduced (see my earlier post in this thread) and we became Dublin 5.

Regardless of where it is it should be avoided at all costs.
