North Earl Street
North Earl Street is a city-centre street located on Dublin's Northside and is one of the principal shopping streets of Dublin, running from Marlborough Street in the west to O'Connell Street beside the Spire. The street was developed by Henry Moore, 1st Earl of Drogheda whose estate lands and developments is reflected in the street names bearing his name, Henry Street, Moore Street, Of Lane and Drogheda Street.
Henry Moore, 3rd Viscount Moore, 1st Earl of Drogheda who came into possession of lands in this area around what is now the Spire on O’Connell St in 1661 following the Restoration of the Monarchy. Laying out the streets, Henry was clearly a man who wished to leave a legacy. He named some of his new streets Henry St, Moore St, Earl St, Drogheda St, Mellefont Place. A small lane, now called Henry Place, linking Moore St to Henry St was called Of or Off Lane. Clearly Henry had used every other combination of his titles, and was left with using the prepositions. It was sometimes formerly called Earl Street North.
The street is home to a statue of James Joyce.Retail &; services
