the ha penny bridge

The Ha'penny Bridge:
The elegant metal pedestrian bridge spanning the Liffey between Merchants' Arch and Liffey Street is one of Dublin's best known landmarks. Erected in 1816, it was among the earliest cast-iron structures of its kind, and was named Wellington Bridge.
Although its official title is now Liffey Bridge, it is universally known as the Ha'penny Bridge after the toll levied on its users. No payment is now required to take this delightful route across the river.
Merchant's Arch:
At the bustling, Bohemian heart of the quarter, Crown Alley meets Merchant's Arch. The archway leads to Wellington Quay, with the Merchant's Hall (1821) to the right, and straight ahead to the best way over the Liffey, the Ha'penny Bridge.
