Clanbrassil Street () is a street in Dublin south of the city centre. It runs from Robert Emmet Bridge on the Grand Canal to New Street. It is served by several bus routes. It is named after James Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Clanbrassil. Clanbrassil () was the name of a Gaelic territory in what is now northern County Armagh.〔(Craigavon Borough: Derrytrasna Ward ). Northern Ireland Place-name Project. p.2〕 ==History== From earliest times the street formed part of the Slige Chualann, which ran south from the settlement at Áth Cliath. It took its name from ''Cualu'', the district in which Dublin was situated and which lay between the mouths of the Liffey and the Avoca (in County Wicklow). In 1868, a new street was opened to connect Harold's Cross with Lower Clanbrassil Street. The Lord Mayor, the Aldermen and Frederick Stokes, who had purchased the land and led the project, attended the opening. The street was to be called Kingsland Street, but that name was never used and it became Upper Clanbrassil Street. Between 1886 and 1892, 128 houses were built off Clanbrassil St. (on Daniel St. and Harty Place) by the Dublin Artisans Dwelling Company for the industrial and working classes.〔(Clanbrassil Street, Past and Present history, Sean Lynch, Part 2 )〕 Lower Clanbrassil St. was known as part of Little Jerusalem because in the first half of the 20th century it was at the heart of the Jewish community in Ireland. The first Jews fleeing conditions in Lithuania (then part of the Russian Empire) arrived in the early 1870s and eventually settled off Lower Clanbrassil St. In the following decades many of them settled along the South Circular Road, both sides of Leonard's Corner, and in the side-streets off it.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clanbrassil Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
