Rthbrook Avenue Upper

The Five Lamps — an ornamental lamppost at the junction of five streets, erected around 1880 — marks the centre of a neighbourhood that links the city to Fairview. North Strand's most significant historical chapter came on the night of 31 May 1941, when Luftwaffe bombs killed 34 people and damaged 300 houses — the most devastating attack on neutral Ireland during the war. The rebuilt streets now form a residential corridor with strong inner-city character.
