This work, Dublin's Industrial Heritage: From Sandymount Strand to Crumlin Road, is the first in a three-volume series of richly illustrated books written for the general reader. Unpacking the history of Dublin's industrial heritage down through the ages, each book covers a specific geographical area: Volume I, Dublin South East; Volume II, Dublin South-West; Volume III, North Dublin city and suburbs. The series builds on the Dublin City Industrial Heritage Record, a desktop and fieldwork survey compiled by Dublin City Council between 2006 and 2009 (now available on heritagemaps.ie) with new research by the author. Industrial Heritage embraces the surviving evidence of society's social, economic and technological development from the onset of industrialisation to the recent past. It shows how people have responded to technological change and to cycles of industrial growth and decline over time. This volume covers the industrial heritage of the South East area of Dublin exploring the now radically transformed south Docklands and key sites along the Dodder, the Poddle and Grand Canal and sites in the south city centre, Ringsend, Sandymount, the Poolbeg Peninsula, Ballsbridge, Rathmines, Ranelagh, Milltown and Dartry, Clonskeagh, Harold's Cross.
