Joyce's Dublin, 1904

Dublin in 1904 moves between Georgian dignity and urban wear, its wide streets scarred by tenement decay and lit by gas alongside new electric trams. The walk follows the Liffey from the bay to the park: quays and barges, Sackville Street with Nelson's Pillar, Moore Street dealers, the Martello tower at Sandycove and the faded squares of the Georgian quarter.

34 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Dublin as it stood in 1904 (“History of Dublin”).
