Place Names in Our Area
We learned about some of our local place names:
Coburg Place: was called after Queen Victoria's husband.
Commons Street: was named after the Commissioners of Dublin. It is said that Molly Malone lived here.
Guild Street / Mayor Street: These were called after titles in the Corporation of Dublin.
Seville Place: Some people think this street got its name from oranges.
It got its name from the capture of Seville in Spain by the British in 1812.
Sheriff Street: was named after one of the titles of office existing in the Corporation of Dublin in 1773.

Again brilliant history guys! Maybe we should wear Seville FC jerseys from La Liga, to honour the street of our school!
