THIS INSTALLATION IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE BACK PAGE PUB IN PHIBSBORO [WAS THE RED WINDMILL PUB]

I have a feeling that this may be connected with the Phibsboro Tidy Town Campaign.

26 SEPTEMBER 2016: “The Tidy Towns results are out. We are delighted that we put in a strong performance increasing our score by 17 points on last year. Our pollination friendly flower boxes got the thumbs up from the judges, so nice to see the hard work acknowledged. Thanks everyone for their help and co-operation. The planning for 2017 starts now………”

Phibsborough is located about 2 km north of the old city centre, in Dublin 7. It is bordered by Glasnevin to the north, Drumcondra to the east, Grangegorman to the west, and the King's Inns on Constitution Hill, to the south. The busy commercial centre of Phibsborough is located around the crossroads of the Phibsborough and North Circular Roads, commonly known as Doyle's Corner.

STREET ART - PAINT A UTILITY CABINET IN DUBLIN [PHIBSBORO]

I went to school in the city centre and we were taught to spell it as Phibsboro but it would appear that the current spelling is Phibsborough.

There is no information available to me about the two street-side cabinets in my photographs.

There is an ongoing programme whereby Street Artists are permitted to use traffic control cabinets as their canvas. The programme is known as Dublin Canvas [Paint-A-Box] and I was planning to photograph every installation but they are appearing faster than I can photograph them.

My mission has become a bit more complicated as different types of cabinets are now being painted [officially or unofficially] by street artists, local communities or commercial advertisers. It most cases the artist or the responsible organisation is not identified.

URBAN JUNGLE BY SIOFRA MURDOCK [DUBLIN CANVAS PAINT A BOX PROGRAMME]

I had a chat with the artist who is for Northern Ireland and who studied art in the UK. Unfortunately at the time I forgot to ask her name so I had to return and get the her name from the label at the side of the control cabinet. Unfortunately I was unable to get an unobstructed view this time.

PAINT A BOX STREET ART ON THE SOUTH CIRCULAR RAOD [HEYTESBURY STREET JUNCTION] A-121503

I have no information about this and it currently appears to be a work in progress. It is not listed on the Dublin Canvas map.

Heytesbury Street is a tree-lined inner city street north of the South Circular Road, Portobello, Dublin, Ireland named after William à Court, 1st Baron Heytesbury (1789–1860), Lord Lieutenant (1844–1846). Built and developed as an artery to join Portobello Harbour about 1820, its current layout dates from the mid-19th century.

It is primarily a residential street but also contains a school: Synge Street CBS is officially known as St Paul's Secondary School, Heytesbury Street.

Jonathan Swift had a vegetable garden and a paddock for his horse nearby. The entrance to the Meath Hospital was located on this street. The hospital's foundations were laid by Lord Brabazon in October 1770. The hospital was initially known as The Meath Hospital and County Dublin Infirmary, but was renamed on its move in 1823.

James Clarence Mangan and Brendan Behan were patients in the Meath Hospital and died there. Oliver St John Gogarty (Buck Mulligan in Joyce's Ulysses) was on its staff from 1911 to 1939.

No. 33, Heytesbury Street was the birthplace of Cornelius Ryan, author of The Longest Day, The Last Battle and A Bridge Too Far.

No. 72, Heytesbury Street houses one of Ireland's leading contract bridge clubs, the Civil Service Bridge Club.
