DUBLIN BAY PIDGEON (PIGEON) HOUSE ROAD RINGSEND DUBLIN

July 25, 2009

I went for a short spin on my new Brompton M6L folding bike last night. This is a spot about 10 minutes or so from my flat in Ringsend. It’s just beyond Dockland on the south side of Dublin. I’ve forgotten why it’s called the Pidgeon House Road. Wales is somewhere straight ahead in the distance.

    the name Pidgeon house comes from a storehouse built on the site around 1717, during the construction of the South Bull Wall. The owner’s name was John Pidgeon.By the way I think your bike is gay but fantastic
