A view of St. Michan’s Park in Dublin’s north inner city. St. Michan’s is one of the smallest Victorian parks in Dublin and it incorporates the foundations of Newgate Prison, demolished in 1893. The image shows St. Michan's Catholic Church and the adjoining park before the installation (in 1903) of the statue of Erin commemorating the United Irishmen who were executed in Newgate Prison following the 1798 Rebellion.
