North Dublin City and Environs.
 Author: COSGRAVE, Dillon.Publisher: Dublin: Nonsuch Publishing, 2005 (first published 1909). 128 pages. Paperback.
Originally published in 1909, and re-issued in 1931, this book explores the history of North Dublin city and county from its birth as a Viking town to it growth into a bustling metropolis. The narrative stretches from Church Street out to Howth by way of Clontarf, Fairview, Marino and the Phoenix Park.
Cosgrave successfully captures the North Side of Dublin city and county. He portrays a story of growth through time; reclamations from the sea, the opening of parts of the northern slice of the county, the unsightly and often inconvenient encroachment of the railways and the development of Howth and the rest of the coastline.
A comprehensive study of the city and county north of the Liffey this book provides a fascinating view of Dublin from the eyes of an Irishman in the early twentieth century. Cosgrave’s work stands the test of time in its picture of North Dublin. Although now outdated by developments and changes that even a decade ago we could not have imagined, North Dublin City & Environs presents still a recognizable picture of the northern half of Dublin city and county.
