Numbers declined sharply after WWII and a lot of those remaining ended up in Terenure.<br /><br />At one time, some of the streets in the area had a majority of Jewish residents.<br /><br />Clanbrassil street was the main Jewish shopping street and if you hover over the shop markers in the map you will see the wide variety of services provided there to the Jewish community of the day. That is not to say that there were not many non-Jews living on that street or on many of the others within Little Jerusalem.<br /><br />If you have an interest in the area and in the Jewish community there, Cormac Ó Gráda's <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jewish-Ireland-Age-Joyce-Socioeconomic/dp/0691127190/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1403549280&sr=1-1&keywords=jewish+ireland+in+the+age+of+joyce" rel="nofollow">book</a> "Jewish Ireland in the age of Joyce" is worth a read.Benny the Bridgebuilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04763002558985058266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777800537280892029.post-23234427609181248842014-06-23T00:37:07.876+01:002014-06-23T00:37:07.876+01:00I came to this site after finding my Irish grandmo...I came to this site after finding my Irish grandmother lived on this street with many other Irish people in 1901. I was looking for street photos. I found similar Irish named residences in 1908 via the census. So I find it strange to see Clanbrassil Street being claimed as Jewish area. If it was, it must have been for only a very limited time and after a large number of Irish people left to US destinations.

Williams's book At Angor yn Nulyn, in the English tranlation by the author's son, and I was surprised to learn that the papal flag flew over the Chapel House of the Calvanistic Methodists' Welsh Chapel in Talbot Street during the 1932 Eucharistic Congress, because Catholics were living in the house in those days.

The first shows the area of Little Jerusalem off the South Circular Road in Dublin. The second shows the Jewish shops on Clanbrassil Street and it is from this that the screenshot in the above post is taken.
