Rory O'More Bridge, Cast iron bridge in central Dublin, Ireland.
The Rory O'More Bridge spans 29 meters across the River Liffey, connecting Watling Street near the Guinness grounds to Ellis Street on the north quays.
Built in 1859 to replace an earlier stone structure, this cast-iron bridge was initially named Victoria & Albert Bridge before its renaming in the 1930s.
The bridge bears the name of Rory O'More, a central figure in the Irish Rebellion of 1641 who participated in the attempted capture of Dublin.
The bridge measures 10 meters in width and features a single arch span constructed with cast iron arches, wrought iron deck, and granite abutments.
Prior to 1859, the location housed a wooden bridge known as 'Bloody Bridge' due to violent confrontations between local ferrymen and bridge builders.
