Drogheda house on Sackville st and henry st [then] now earl st.

Site of Earl of Drogheda mansion, destroyed during Irish civil war. One time Scottish Provincial Assurance Co.

Drogheda Street Gardiner commenced the development of Drogheda Street in 1749. It appears that at this time the south end of Drogheda Street ran into Strand Street running east to west parallel to and south of Henry Street which was separated from the river by the houses on Bachelors Walk, fronting onto the river (see Brookings map 1728). Likewise the north end of Drogheda Street ran into Great Britain Street, again running east west and parallel to and north of Henry Street. It appears from Brookings map 1728 that while the lower part of Drogheda Street was built up, the upper or northern part was virtually undeveloped, save for the buildings fronting onto Great Britain Street to the north, and the return from Henry Street to the laneway servicing the Henry Street buildings on the east, and Drogheda House on the corner of Drogheda Street and Henry Street (now Earl Street) to the west. Having acquired the lands in 1714, it seems unlikely that Luke Gardiner, 14 years prior to Brookings map of 1728, had built on upper Drogheda Street to subsequently demolish it. It also appears that Luke Gardiner did not have possession of all of Upper Drogheda Street, the sites at no’s. 45 to 47 Upper O’Connell Street were in the possession of John McGill and in use as a sand pit until 1769, following which they were developed by George Darley as two houses (see Geo Soc Rec. Vol. III p. 91).
It appears that Luke Gardiner carried out a limited amount of demolition to the west side of Upper Drogheda Street, at the junction at Henry Street and that of Great Britain Street, now Parnell Street, to provide the site for the proposed Gardiner Mall.
