Just wondering if anyone has a copy of a map of Clontarf from around the time of the cencus in 1911 (in particular Clontarf Road surrounding the yacht club)?
This isn't a direct search for family, more an interest in the place I lived as a child. Reason I ask is that there was no Clontarf Road in 1911 according to the "Townlands/Streets" breakdown on the National Archives. Anyone know when that occurred?

Cheers  :)

Would 'Sea Road' be the coast road?
I'll have a look in my maps later and scan anything suitable.

As a Clontarf Born and reared Person....but not having been to Clontarf for 20 years if my memory serves me correct Brookside House is up the side road at the Clontarf Police Station. Red brick building with steps up to it just at the start of the lane that brings you out on the Howth Road at the railway bridge....and the back lodge is just there on the corner of Hollybrook Road beside the bus stop...

Noel, it would be just to the left of St Lawrence's Road as you look at that map....Probably an adjoining map!

Hello Hallmark,
would it have been where the Hollybrook Hotel was?
