A local history reveals how a Dublin suburb mirrors Ireland's social shifts, illustrating change, identity, and modernization through three centuries.This book uncovers the remarkable transformation of Dublin 7's Navan Road parish over three centuries. Spanning the 18th to the 20th century, this captivating local history traces the area's evolution--from its rural beginnings, through its 19th-century role as a hub for religious and confinement institutions, to its emergence as a thriving middle-class community.Far more than a chronicle of streets and buildings, this book reveals how Ireland's broader social and historical currents have shaped and been reflected in one seemingly ordinary suburban landscape. Through the lens of Navan Road, discover a compelling microcosm of Ireland's journey through change, identity, and modernisation.
