Newbridge Avenue (Irish: Ascaill an Droichid Nua) is a road in the Sandymount district of Dublin which links Herbert Road and Tritonville Road.
In the novel Ulysses, the funeral of the character Paddy Dignam starts here at number 9 and continues on to Glasnevin Cemetery via Tritonville Road.[2][3] The Dignams were said to live at number 9; the property was, in reality, vacant in 1904.[4]
Both this road and Herbert Road were built across land which once belonged to Haigs' distillery and so it used to be called Haig's Lane; the foundations of the Avenue were constructed with stone which originally came from the Dodderbank Distillery.[5] The distillery fields at this location featured in the sensational murder of the Reverend George Wogan in 1826.[6] A new stone bridge replaced the old wooden toll bridge in the mid-19th century, giving the road the name of "New Bridge Avenue."[1] Construction of houses upon this land then took place in the 1860s.[7]
Due to the Irish property bubble of recent times, properties on this road have risen greatly in value and, in 2006, a house was sold for €2M.[8]
