This rare gated laneway in Dublin's city centre likely passed unnoticed to many, but the Wiltshire's keen eye spotted it. Though we thought it might be interesting to go in the next time passing, today's commenters highlight that Derby Square off Werburgh Street is long since gone. And, as with the convent garden of recent days, replaced with a parking lot...it sounds like it was quite dilapidated by the time the decision was made to redevelop the area, but thanks to O Mac ( /photos/91549360@N03/ ) , Niall McAuley ( /photos/gnmcauley/ ) , John Spooner ( /photos/johnspooner/ ) , and beachcomberaustralia ( /photos/beachcomberaustralia/ ) for the links to the texts, maps ( http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,715197,733857,12,9 ) , songs ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMxKggsz0fM#2m10s ) and video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8vrmleOiSA&t=10m45s ) which captured some of it's essence before that happened......Photographer: Elinor Wiltshire ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000046408 ) ..Date: 1969..NLI Ref: WIL 63[3] ( vtls000049357 ) ..You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )
