Distillery Street / Sráid na Drioglainne

Distillery Street, named through proximity to Dunville's Whiskey Distillery which was built in 1869 by William Dunville. The Company ceased to trade in 1937. The minutes of the Improvement Committee of 24 December 1873 indicate the naming of streets off Grosvenor Street for Mr Jas. Ross - Blackwater Street, Linview Street, Little Grosvenor Street, Malt Street, Little Distillery Street. The street name Blackwater Street is no longer in use, instead there is Blackwater Way which was named for its proximity to Blackwater Street.
