Event Description:
Join Cathy Scuffil, Historian-in-Residence Dublin City Council South Central Area, as she unravels the story behind this company and the people associated with it.
The iconic yellow Dolphin’s Barn bricks are an important fashionable addition featured in many house sales promotions. The manufacturer was located on the Crumlin Road from the late 1890s until 1944 with the clay pits extending from Kimmage to the Grand Canal at Goldenbridge. It was a huge local employer. Many current residents can claim family links to this company.
