Map of Tralee 1756
There is no sign of Denny Street on this 18th century map.
From C. Smith's History of the County of Kerry (1756)When the historian Charles Smith published the earliest map of Tralee in 1756, Denny Street was not yet built.
In the 1820s, work began on the new street. But the ruins of Tralee Castle, the old family home of the Dennys stood in the way of the new development.
Rather than simply demolish this historic old building, its stones were used in the construction of the new houses. These houses were built by 1826 and many still stand today.
