History
[edit]Originally named Bowes Street for the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, John Bowes, 1st Baron Bowes, who lived on the street. His house was later known as the "Night Asylum".[2][3] The street was historically part of the Slíghe Mhidhluachra, one of the four ancient routes that met in Dublin.[4][5]
Bow Street is now known as the location of the Jameson Distillery, a former distillery now tourist attraction, which dates back to 1780.[6] The distillery and the street now form part of the wider regenerated Smithfield area.[4] Also on the street is the film and television acting academy, Bow Street Academy.[7]
