Can't see this posted by anyone else yet. The site was just launched in the past few days, very interesting.

people could be supported by the six back cables of the Samuel Beckett Bridge - a Croke Park full house.

:eek:

Very informative and interesting site actually - hope they update to include other rivers and canals in the city

On a related note, I was on the Luas bridge at Spencer Dock and a tourist asked me what the bridge was called- I just said it had no name, was I wrong?

Good site the old photos showing the bridges and parts of the old skyline are cool. There was another site a few years where someone had gotten old pics of dublin and had taken photos from the same location in 2011 or 2010.

Slightly o/t - I was intrigued to see an episode of Reeling in the Years a while back, which showed traffic coming out from behind the Customs House from northside - and there was no Matt Talbot Bridge there!

I just about remember it being built, I think traffic on the quays ran opposite directions at the time from now.

Looking forward to having a dig around the OP website, sounds very interesting!

Seem to remember someone saying there are over 200 bridges in Dublin so it would be a massive undertaking. For that reason doing the Liffey bridges first makes sense. Site getting a lot of deserved publicity.

disapointing they haven't done the canals. not really bridges of Dublin.

In fairness they have to start somewhere, and as you can see from the site a huge amount of work has gone into each of the 23 bridges over the Liffey. It's a very high quality site.

Feel free to do your own research, take your own photos, sort out your own web hosting and web pages. Just don't be surprised that someone will find a reason to moan about your creation. This is Ireland, after all.
