Sandymount High School
Sandymount High School was a coeducational secondary school on Herbert Road, Sandymount, Dublin 4 which operated for over 50 years before closing in 1999. History Sandymount High School was founded in 1947 and was initially controversial because, as a non-denominational school, it wasn't owned by a church but by the Cannon family, who also provided the two headmasters the school had: father and son Patrick and Conall Cannon. Patrick's wife Eileen Cannon also served as headmistress. The school's student body included those from a local council estate called Beech Hill, the offspring of parents disenchanted with denominational/same sex schools, students on the Malahide/Howth to Bray rail corridor and foreign nationals who paid tuition fees. While the school had a gym — basically exercise classes — for Intermediate Certificate students, it had no compulsory sports or sports team for a period.

Distillation
Distillation, or classical distillation, is the process of separation process, separating the components or substances from a liquid mixture by using selective boiling and condensation, usually inside an apparatus known as a still. Dry distillation is the heating of solid materials to produce gaseous products (which may condense into liquids or solids); this may involve chemical changes such as destructive distillation or Cracking (chemistry), cracking. Distillation may result in essentially complete separation (resulting in nearly pure components), or it may be a partial separation that increases the concentration of selected components; in either case, the process exploits differences in the relative volatility of the mixture's components. In Chemical industry, industrial applications, distillation is a unit operation of practically universal importance, but is a physical separation process, not a chemical reaction. An installation used for distillation, especially of distilled ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Marian College (Dublin)
Marian College is a Marist Catholic secondary school in Ballsbridge, Dublin, Ireland that was established in 1954. History In the early 1950s, the then Archbishop of Dublin, Dr John Charles McQuaid, had invited the Marist Brothers to open a school in the Sandymount-Ballsbridge area. This was in response to the opening of a co-educational school, Sandymount High School. Co-education was anathema to Archbishop McQuaid, so he wanted to provide a Catholic option beside it. The Marists found a site at Riverside House on the banks of the River Dodder and on 8 September 1954 the first pupils entered the Brothers’ house to begin their secondary schooling. Until 1999, Sandymount High School was next door to Marian College. For the first 34 years, the College was run by a succession of Marist Brothers. In later years, lay involvement in the management and organisation of the College has grown. Academics The school was ranked tenth in Ireland in terms of the number of students wh ...

Ballsbridge
Ballsbridge () (from historic Ball's Bridge) is an affluent neighbourhood of the city of Dublin, the capital of Ireland. The area is largely north and west of a three-arch stone bridge across the River Dodder, on the south side of the city. The sign on the bridge still proclaims it as "Ball's Bridge", in recognition of the fact that the original bridge on that location was built and owned by the Ball family, a well-known Dublin merchant family in the 1500s and the 1600s. The current bridge was built in 1791. Ballsbridge was once part of the Pembroke Township. History 18th-century maps show that the area of Dublin that is now Ballsbridge was originally mud flats and marsh, with many roads converging on a small village located around the bridge, and known already as Ballsbridge. Situated on the Dodder, this village had a ready source of power for small industries, including by the 1720s, a linen and cotton printers, and, by the 1750s, a paper mill and a gunpowder factory.Enecla ...

Newbridge Avenue, Dublin
Newbridge Avenue () is a road in the Sandymount district of Dublin which links Herbert Road and Tritonville Road. In the novel ''Ulysses'', the funeral of the character ''Paddy Dignam'' starts here at number 9 and continues on to Glasnevin Cemetery via Tritonville Road. The Dignams were said to live at number 9; the property was, in reality, vacant in 1904. Both this road and Herbert Road were built across land which once belonged to Haigs' distillery and so it used to be called ''Haig's Lane''; the foundations of the Avenue were constructed with stone which originally came from the Dodderbank Distillery. The distillery fields at this location featured in the sensational murder of the Reverend George Wogan in 1826. A new stone bridge replaced the old wooden toll bridge in the mid-19th century, giving the road the name of "New Bridge Avenue." Construction of houses upon this land then took place in the 1860s. Due to the Irish property bubble The Irish property bubble ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
