Milltown – Street Art
Image by infomatique
Milltown, Dublin 6, Ireland, is a suburb on the southside of Dublin. The townland got its name in the 18th or 19th century, when it was the site of a working mill on the River Dodder. The remnants of this mill can still be seen.
It is also marked by a spectacular 19th century railway bridge across the river, which was part of the ‘Harcourt Street Line’ which ran from Harcourt street to Bray. The bridge was recently re-opened for the Luas light rail system which runs from St. Stephen’s Green to Sandyford. This bridge, and sometimes the area immediately surrounding it became known informally as the ‘Nine Arches’. Milltown railway station opened on 1 May 1860 and finally closed on 1 January 1959.
