About this audio guide
This guide to Moore Street Market in Dublin opens with a silver flask found in the rubble, engraved P.H.P., and traces the final days of the 1916 Easter Rising fought through these terraced houses. You'll hear about James Connolly carried wounded into number sixteen, the Plunkett family tearing up bedsheets to dress him, and the civilians caught in the crossfire outside. It's also the story of the market itself, worked by the same families for four generations, trading on through war and decline long after.
