Cadogan Road

Running west from Annesley Bridge Road, this cul-de-sac, like the nearby Addison Road, was developed between 1897 and 1902 on a plot of land to the north of the Vitriol Works, at Ballybough.

I can find no direct evidence for the origin of the name, but I’m assuming it comes from George Henry Cadogan (1840–1915), 5th Earl Cadogan, who served as lord lieutenant of Ireland from 1895 to 1902.¹

Development on the road continued until 1908, when an extension was ‘taken-in-charge’ by the Corporation.²
