The Tenters, Dublin 8
The Tenters is a mature and popular area in Dublin 8 bordering the Liberties, Blackpitts, Donore Avenue and Newmarket Square. It is within a short walk to Grafton Street, St Stephen’s Green and Christchurch. It gets its unique name from a tenterfield that existed here until the turn of the 20th century. This was an area used by the clothing factories to dry out their cloths by hanging them on large tenterhooks.
Today, it is regarded as a friendly neighbourhood with a real sense of community here where neighbours really look out of reach other.
