Now the top pedestrianised shopping street in Ireland!
This is now famously the most exclusive shopping street in Dublin & Ireland too. The 7th most expensive rental prices in Europe with some retail outlets actually beating the world records making them more expensive than Paris or New York! This is the most popular place for Buskers from all over the world to display or perform their acts.

Do you have any photos of the family or the house or address as I will be visiting Bray this year tracing my roots. The name Curtis is also a connection. Can anyone help in any way at all? Thanks....

The church was built in 1686 on the site of an 11th century church. The original church was probably built by the Danes, and St Michan is likely to have been a Danish saint. The organ, which dates from 1724, is said to have been played by Handel. On the panel directly beneath the organ can be seen... [more]
