<strong>DRAFT</strong> STATEMENT OF CHARACTER<br />

3.3 19th Century <strong>Malahide</strong><br />
The centre <strong>of</strong> the town moved eastwards during the beginning <strong>of</strong> the 19th century with<br />
the laying out <strong>of</strong> The Diamond influenced by the Talbot family. Taylor’s Map <strong>of</strong> Dublin<br />
1816, depicts The Diamond as four buildings forming the sides <strong>of</strong> The Diamond with<br />
four wide roads radiating from each corner, New Street, Dublin Road and Church Street<br />
with the fourth road to the east not yet developed. The Diamond acted as the focus for<br />
the new grander developments in <strong>Malahide</strong>, the more humble houses <strong>of</strong> the ordinary<br />
villagers remaining around the former core on Old Street.<br />
