Newmarket

This guide to Newmarket in Dublin traces a square laid out in the 1670s by the Earl of Meath as a trading ground for wool, hides and flax, and follows it through the city's slow loss of its once-thirty-seven whiskey distilleries by the 1970s. It picks up the story of the Teeling family, whose ancestor distilled on a nearby street two centuries earlier, and asks what brought their name back to this ground. You'll also hear about the flea market's own up-and-down history on the same square.
