Store Street
Store Street ( ga, Sráid an Stórais) is a short street in Dublin, Ireland, running from Amiens Street at right angles to Beresford Place. History The street derived its name from the many store and warehouses that dominated the area due to the proximity to the Custom House Docks complex from the 1790s onwards. It appears as a thoroughfare on maps in 1800. The stores were demolished in the 1940s and the dock near the street to the east of the Custom House, known as the Old Dock (originally Custom House Dock), was filled in. The crescent of houses on Beresford Place, designed by James Gandon, terminate on Store Street. Number 1 in this small crescent, known as Gandon House, also faces onto Store Street. In the late 1800s the prominent English veterinary surgeon, Thomas Drummond Lambert, had a large practice based on Store Street the footprint of which was impacted by the construction of the Loop Line railway bridge by the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway Company in the ...
