Gunmaker's Hall. 1848.
Gun Makers Hall
34 Wellington Quay
Dublin
Gun Makers' Hall must have been an establishment similar to those in Birmingham where numerous gun makers shared the cost of a space, machinery and of course knowledge.
Three gun makers associated with this address at this time were:-
John Flanaghan. c.1840
Patrick Kane. c.1840/1856
John O'Gorman. c.1840/41
There were no doubt other "jobbing gunmakers" working within this premise/location.
The address does vary over this period from No28 to No 34.
