The western half of Anne Street South is pedestrianised where it meets Grafton Street, one of Dublin's primary shopping streets. To the east, it is overlooked by St Ann's Church, a Church of Ireland church in baroque style designed in 1720, with its current facade dating to 1868.[1] It is adjoined by Duke Lane Lower and Anne's Lane.
The street was developed by Joshua Dawson, who in 1705 acquired land from Henry Temple and Hugh Price.[2] It, along with Grafton Street, Dawson Street and Harry Street, to which it continues across Grafton Street, was developed on the land.[3] It was completed in 1723.[4]
It is named after Anne, the reigning queen of Great Britain and Ireland at the time of its construction.
Primarily commercial, Anne Street South contains a mixture of independent and chain retailers, restaurants and other businesses. It is home to Kehoe's, first licensed in 1803[5] and considered a notable example of a Victorian-style Dublin pub.[6] Adjacent to Grafton Street, property on Anne Street became increasingly coveted by retailers in the 1990s.[7]
