John Speed's Map Of Dublin (1610)
John Speed's Map of Dublin (1610) was one of the first detailed maps of Dublin and the first published map of Dublin produced by cartographer John Speed around 1610 and printed first in London in 1611. It appeared as an inset in a map of the Province of Leinster in Speed's atlas ''The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine'' and features 69 placenames and other locations annotated at the side by symbols, geographic features or crude illustratrations. Speed's map combines information borrowed from other maps but also appears to have mapped most of the town plans himself. It is the oldest surviving map of the city of Dublin. The next authoritative map of Dublin wasn't until Herman Moll's map of 1714, which drew heavily on Speed's map, Charles Brooking's map of Dublin (1728) and John Rocque's maps from 1756 onwards.

Church Of St Michael Le Pole
The Church of St Michael le Pole (St Michael of the Pool) was an ancient pre-Norse church and ecclesiastic settlement in Dublin, Ireland which existed prior to the Norse invasion and creation of Early Scandinavian Dublin in the 9th century. It is believed the church may date from as far back as the 7th century. The church was located between present day Ship Street Little, Ship Street Great, Golden Lane, Chancery Lane and Bride Street. History Naming The church is often referred to in historical accounts as St Michael de le Pole. It is proposed by O'Donovan that the name 'Michael' is actually a Norman era phonetic corruption of the name MacThail, referring to Aengus son of Dergan who was one of three similarly named prelates of Kilcullen, County Kildare. The name 'le pole' refers to the pool which was created by the River Poddle to the south and east of Dublin Castle and gives Dublin its name from being a corruption of the native Irish term "Dubh Linn" meaning black pool. ...

Keyser's Lane
Keyser's Lane (or Keyser's Hill, Kezer's Lane, Keizer Street, Keyzer-street) is a street name found in several former Viking towns in Ireland. The name generally applies to a street which runs from the medieval town centre down to the quays or harbour, and is believed to derive from Old Norse ''keisa'', meaning "bend," perhaps a reference to the steep slope of the hill or the curve of the river. ''Holinshed's Chronicles'' (1575) mentions that it is an ancient name of uncertain origin. Other sources give "lane to the quays" or "ship wharf" as its meaning; however, "quay" is a Celtic/French word, not Norse.
