At the turn of the eighteenth century, most of the area that today makes up East and North Wall was under the Irish Sea – at least at high tide. a 1714 map shows the city petering out east of what is today O’Connell Bridge, and turning into the muddy Liffey Estuary. During the 1700s, though, city engineers built large walls – North and East Wall, to be exact – to contain the Liffey and its outflow into the Irish Sea. In the process, they reclaimed large parcels of land which today form part of the heart of inner-city Dublin.
