WHY DOES IRELAND HAVE SO MANY PUBS? SO WE CAN SHELTER FROM THE RAIN OF COURSE!
... and the cobblestone streets of Temple Bar in Dublin probably have more than their fair share of rain-shelters.
Temple Bar is on the south bank of the River Liffey in central Dublin, Ireland. Here, in Fishamble Street, was the first performance of Handel's Messiah on 13 April 1742 and, in a tavern on Eustace Street, a republican revolutionary group was formed in 1791 … the Society of the United Irishmen.
The area slowly declined in popularity in the 1800s and, by the early 1900s, it was suffering from urban decay, with many derelict buildings. That turned out to be not such a bad thing though because its unfashionability probably saved it from Dublin's property developers, who destroyed much of the city's historic architecture during the 1960s.
