Capel Street is a narrow thoroughfare leading from Bolton Street to the River Liffey. An aristocratic residential street in the 18th century, it was once one of the most fashionable addresses in the city, laid out by Sir Humphrey Jervis in the 1670s on the lands of St. Mary's Abbey. Once lined with Anglo-Dutch style houses, it now a vibrant commercial street with a host of local businesses, occupying converted town houses and purpose-built Victorian retail premises.
