Ha' Penny Bridge

Ha' Penny Bridge

Originally called the Wellington Bridge after the Duke of Wellington, the name of the bridge changed to Liffey Bridge, and surprisingly is still today. However, due to the original toll of one old halfpenny, the more popular title of Ha'penny Bridge stuck in the minds of the locals. The toll itself was dropped in 1919.

It was built in 1816 and was the first iron bridge in Ireland. It is a single span structure with cast iron railings and three decorative lamps supported by curved ironwork over the walkway.
