Ha'penny Bridge Dublin city photographs. Dublin city image of River Liffey & Ha'penny Bridge, with Bachelors Walk to the left & Liberty Hall, headquarters of Ireland's trade union group SIPTU, in the background. It is the oldest pedestrian bridge over the River Liffey. Originally built as a short cut to Crow Street, which had a theatre located there, the Ha'penny Bridge first opened in May 1816. A toll fee of one half-penny as charged for crossing and the annual income from the tolls was £329 and 3 shillings. A tidy sum in the 19th century, equivalent to approx £40,000 today. ![]() Dublin Ireland Photograph © irelandposters. All rights reserved.
