WANDERING ROCKS
Between 1879 - 1882, to improve the streetscape and relieve traffic congestion, Carlisle bridge was widened to the width of Sackville street (230 ft or 70 m). It was then renamed O'Connell bridge for Daniel O'Connell, whose statue was being unveiled. In the early 19c., the pro-British still called the street Sackville, and the bridge Carlisle, as in this (published in England) postcard. The fact that Mr Kernan says Carlisle bridge may reflect his age, or his political views.
