Daly's Place Woodquay

bobbyss

Was reading a book recently and it mentioned a Daly's Place in the city centre. Google Maps has St Anthony's Place (as a continuation of Mary Street towards Woodquay). Anybody know if this is the one and same street? When was there a name change and presumably it was called after Fr Peter Daly?

I could not see any street name on it in Street view.

According to Google, Papa Rich is in Daly's Place, so it is the continuation of St. Anthony's Place.

According to OSM it's the street connecting Eglington Street with Woodquay

Same on the city council's planning site

That's what I always knew it as, didn't know it wasn't common knowledge. You'd know Google isn't a local.

Yes always been Daly's Place. Google Maps can have odd bugs and errors. There is an area called Marlay Wood around Mervue apparently.

Eglinton Street or Eglington street ? As far as I know its Eglinton street but gets spelled wrong so often

Oh looks like you're right, I've always been wrongly calling it Eglington Street!

Quincentenary Bridge is another, more known (wrongly) as Quincentenial Bridge.

Forster Street is another.

The bridge was since the day it was opened and always will be known to us natives as "the new bridge" 😎
