Just off East Wall Road, on Alfie Byrne Road
As Quinner said, Count John McCormick, the famous tenor.
Don't know

[quinner]

i just heard about him when i was a kid......he was well talked about.....and made many dubs very proud.....

Ok the only answer I found for naming the bridge at that location as the John McCormick bridge on the Alfie Byrne Road is courtesy of the John McCormick Society namely that Alfie Byrne was the Dublin Lord Mayor at the time the "Count" got the freedom of the city in 1923.


Anyone curious about his voice

Between the lot of you it has been more or less solved, apart from question 3.
1. The Bridge is over the Tolka River at the junction of East Wall and Alfie Byrne Roads.
2. He is the world renowned Tenor, more famous outside this Country in Italy, New York etc. for his operatic achievements. Here he is better known for his renditions of Thomas Moore ballads and Irish music hall songs like Macushla and Mother Machree.
3. Born in Athlone he lived in Dublin in the early years of the 1900's. During his time in Dublin he lived for a few years with a family of one of his friends on the East Wall Road, hence the location of his memorial.

A quiz for those who know the North Inner-City well. Four streets, avenues etc. Can you name them. There is probably a small visual clue in each to indicate where they are.

No3. Empress Place.

Answers to North Inner City street quiz.

1. Tyrrell Place a narrow avenue off Charles Lane which runs between Fitzgibbon Street and North Great Charles Street. The houses are right at the back of Fitzgibbon St., Garda Station. The top edge of the back of the Free Church in Charles St.can be seen on the right.

2. Sackville Avenue with Croke Villa Flats on the left. The Avenue runs from Ballybough Road up to the back of Croke Park.

3. Empress Place which runs between Upper Buckingham Street and Portland Row.

4. Frankfort Cottages up a lane off Killarney St. and is parallel to Killarney St. and Amiens St., with the backs of the houses in Lower Buckingham St behind the Cottages. I have worked in the North Inner City for over 50 years and it was only a few weeks ago that I discovered that this area existed.

Answers to North Inner City street quiz.

I lived, played and met my future wife within an asses roar of all the streets and to my shame only recognised Empress Place. But now I recognise the others... easy when you're reminded.
