Summary

[edit]
Description

Parnell Street is located on Dublin's Northside and runs from Capel Street in the west to Gardiner Street and Mountjoy Square in the east, and is at the north end of O'Connell Street, where it provides the south side of Parnell Square.

Originally Parnell Street was part of the ancient road connecting the old city to northern coast, with Father Matthew Bridge connecting Church Street and Wood Quay in the east, to Ballybough and Fairview in the west. During the 18th century development of Amiens Street and Annesley Bridge provided a new coast road, while Parnell Street and it's continuation to the west, Summerhill, became home to Georgian architecture.

The western end of Parnell Street has been substantially redeveloped in recent years. Virtually all of the original Georgian architecture was destroyed and subsequently replaced by buildings of much larger scale.

The eastern end of Parnell Street, having remained comparatively undeveloped, is now home to a thriving immigrant community. Most notably, a plethora of authentic Chinese and Korean restaurants have lent the east side the reputation of being Dublin's "Chinatown". There is also a significant presence of African and East and Central European businesses at the eastern end.
