Say hello…

…to The renovated Hill, 1 Old Mountpleasant, Ranelagh, Dublin 6.

Danielle Graham writes:

One of Dublin’s most iconic pubs, The Hill, has reopened its doors once more. The soft re-opening of the stunning building took place last Thursday and with a number of sympathetic renovations having taken place, it’s new owners have breathed some new life into the beautiful and historic building inside and out.

The building itself, which originally opened for business in 1845, has been a longstanding part of the Ranelagh and Dublin 6 community for around 200 years with a number of proprietors all having put their stamp on this timeless bar and one time grocers.

Having retained a lot of its original character, you will find original gold mirrored plating above the bar with one of the previous owners’ names etched into its design as well as the pub’s memory. There’s also some original brass and wood fittings dotted throughout the space, with a much loved snug at the very front of the bar for those cosy gatherings on cooler nights.

This morning.

The C1 Ber-rated period property, which is just 55sq m (592sq ft) in size, is in walk-in condition and is asking €525,000 through agents Felicity Fox.

A comparison that shows the appetite for well-designed, turn-key one-beds in the area, can be seen in the sale of number 9. While a very different style of one-bed, and larger, extending to 84sq m (904sq ft), the Tom de Paor designed home came to market in November 2017 asking €495,000 and sold for €550,000 in June 2018….

Thud.

Today.

The latest edition of The Phoenix magazine reports that on the day the general election was announced, January 14, the Natural Bakery outlet in Ranelagh was closed.

The next day the former bakery became a campaign office for Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy.

The magazine reports:

According to Dublin City Council’s planning office, there is no record of any application for a change of use or the erection of large election signs.

Now, after various Ranelagh residents raised objections, the Planning Office’s enforcement squads are on the case.

Murphy may now have to make a belated planning application for retention of his pop-up office, although it is likely to shut its doors sometime in mid-February when the DBS ballot papers have been counted…..

Yesterday.

Ranelagh, Dublin 6.

Rachel Elliman photographed this black fox which wandered into One Kinda Folk café in the courtyard of Yoga Dublin in Dartmouth Road.

They write:

“We are huge animal lovers here at One Kinda Folk and are absolutely buzzing after this very rare beauty decided to come by for a coffee… Anyone know anything about Black foxes? The most beautiful boy we’ve ever seen!”

Further to this, Colm Walsh writez:

“The colouration is a neotenic trait — retaining juvenile characteristics — associated with tameness and friendliness.

A lot of the Novosibirsk foxes are black, silver, or even spotted or piebald, and have floppier ears and waggier tails.

Paolo Viscardi of the Dead Zoo thinks it’s more likely that it is a domesticated fox (descended from the Novosibirsk foxes) that was being kept as a pet and escaped or was released.”

Anyone?
