Portobello lies on the bank of the Grand Canal, stretching from South Richmond Street to the South Circular Road. It is one of the country's most well-known suburbs, and has long been a hub for artistic and cultural Dublin. In this book, Maurice Curtis, takes the reader on a visual tour of Portobello through the decades, recounting both the familiar and the events and places that have faded over time, revealing many fascinating details, including the fact that Dublin's Portobello was named after an area on the East Coast of Panama! This, and much more, is captured in a timeless volume, which pays fitting tribute to this well-loved part of the city.
