  Description

  The present bridge occupies the site of an earlier one constructed over the River Tolka at Ballybough in the beginning of the 14th century(Ball 1920, 158). It was later carried away by a flood. At the end of the 15th-century the City Fathers rode the Franchises of Dublin and crossed at Ballybough bridge. The Civil survey (1654-6) also mentions a bridge at Ballybough(Simington 1945, 178). D'Alton describes an ancient bridge of five rude, unornamented arches where the river empties to the sea (D'Alton 1976, 28(2nd ed). The present bridge is of modern construction.
