Thanks to everyone who helped me find Derby Square! Linda On 11/01/12, Cara<cara_links@bigpond.com> wrote: Derby Square had an unusual entrance which was dismantled and removed by the Dublin Corporation and remains in storage ( 1990) Derby Square was originally about eighty feet long and surrounded by about 12 houses and was erected by John Derby a dealer in butter in the late 17th century, many eminent lawyers occupied buildings in Derby Square because of its proximity to the courts and the location of the courts of chancery office. The medieval city wall ran between Hoey's court and Ship Street little, where it is still visible today, it crossed Werburgh street and continued on it's course though an 18th century residential court known as Derby Square was approached by a narrow passage from the street and if you had access to Roques' map it would show it contained seven houses.
