 | | Cabragh Lane, or, as we know it, Prussia Street, to which latter name it was changed in 1765, in honour of Frederick, King of Prussia, led to Cabragh, the ancient seat of the Segrave family, which place was afterwards inhabited by Lord Norbury, of notorious memory. |
 | | We learn from M'Gregor's picture of Dublin that the first stone of this building was laid by the Duke of Richmond in 1812, presenting a front of 700 feet to Grangegorman Lane, is in depth about 400, and covers an area of three acres; the estimated cost of its erection was about £40,000. |
 | | Before passing away from Grangegorman the story, as narrated by Burton, of "Billy in the Bowl" must not be omitted. |
