NIAH building record

Built: c.1790 · NIAH rating: Regional

Westmoreland Street was developed by the Wide Streets Commission, between 1799 and 1805, to create a thoroughfare from O’Connell Bridge to Trinity College. The street facades were prepared by Henry Aaron Baker (1753-1836). This building, a purpose-built retail unit with a mezzanine level and residential accommodation over, was part of Baker’s scheme, and in scale and massing it retains a strong sense of the overall design .

Flagship memory draft

Cassidy's Bar: Boards.ie memory worth building out

Boards.ie gives Cassidy's Bar a useful forum-memory trail around old memories, stories and gossip, story leads, characters and regulars and rituals and house habits. PubHub is treating it as linked public memory, not settled fact.

The archive has 27 readable signals for Cassidy's Bar, with enough repetition to make this a good candidate for a fuller memory page. The useful material is the pattern: what people returned to, joked about, remembered, or argued over.

The character lane is active here: 4 signals point toward regulars, staff-memory, crowds, roles, and room texture. PubHub should keep private people protected while preserving the sense of the room.

The source trail currently preserves 27 unique Boards.ie URLs for review. The dated archive span visible on the page is 2002-2016.

Generated V1 flagship draft. Before turning this into stronger editorial copy, open the linked sources, check pub identity, and keep corrections/removals easy.
