ST. MICHAEL'S HILL DUBLIN

St. Michael Hill also referred to as Michaels Hill starts at the junction of High Street, Christchurch Place and Nicholas Street under the arch of Christchurch and extends down on the left hand side of the street towards the Liffey at Merchants Quay. The Right hand side of the street is known as Winetaven Street, as you travel down the road from Christchurch arch towards Liffey at Merchants Quay. 

The celebrated row of houses on Michaels Hill, Wintavern Street, each with a single large tripartite window at first and second floor levels, dated from c1800. The entire block which extended down the hill to Cook Street and backed onto Michaels Lane was occupied by generations of "clothes brokers". Originally called Christchurch Lane to which there was a reference in 1354, the name changed in the early nineteenth century came from its proximity to the church of St Michael, the tower of which survives in the Synod Hall today. St Michaels hill was demolished in 1964.
