Bull Alley / Bride Street
Bull Alley, now Bull Alley Street, runs from Bride Street to the east to Patrick Street to the west. Along the southern side of the street is St Patrick’s Park. Bride Street runs north-south between Werburgh Street and Kevin Street.
Association with Poddle
The two streams of the Poddle reunite at the junction of Patrick’s Street and Dean Street. The united stream runs under Patrick Street, Ross Lane, Bride Street and one side of Ship Street, through the Lower Castle Yard, where it once formed the moat of the fortress, and passing under Dame Street, and between Crampton Court and Sycamore Alley it empties itself into the Liffey, under the old Custom House yard, now Wellington Quay.
