16 March 2022: AHG Seminar - Market Metropolis: Cattle and the Making of Dublin
"This talk will examine the role of cattle and associated trades in the development of Dublin during the nineteenth century. The great swing to cattle grazing after the Great Famine has been well-studied and continues to shape Irish agriculture today. However, little consideration is often given to the impact of this trade and, of cattle as animals, on the capital city. The paper will look at the decision to retain the live cattle market within the city in the 1860s and the impacts of this on socio-economic geography, environment and culture. Thousands of cattle passed through the city each week and the need to accommodate this flow of animals changed Dublin in specific ways. The 'second city' of the British Empire became the largest market of the United Kingdom, funnelling animals to the fields and tables of its nearest neighbour and transforming lives and livelihoods."
