Dublin City 1847 Ordnance Survey Town Plans - Previews



General Post Office - Sackville Street
The maps are highly detailed building and street surveys. Interior ground floor plans of the virtually all public buildings are provided, covering the buildings associated with regional and local Government, major Banking and other Commercial institutions, Charitable institutions, Hospitals, Schools, Police and Military Barracks, Prisons, Churches etc.

You may find it difficult to read some text (eg house numbers) on the Dublin City plans. The file sizes of the online plans had to be reduced so that the download time would not be too excessive; that entailed reducing the quality a little. The original scanned images are of significantly better quality than those available online, and are available on the 1851 Dublin City Census CD.
