"Killester: from medieval manor to garden suburb" explores the development of Killester from its earliest days as Killester Demense, through its transformation in the early twentieth century as a garden suburb for ex-servicemen and onwards to the emergence of today's suburb. Its history has given it a unique character and this is richly illustrated by maps and photographs. This is the first of a series of studies, entitled Dublin - Shaping the Suburbs, that explores the development of Dublin's suburbs as many reach their centenary. This publication was commissioned by Dublin City Council as part of the Dublin City Strategic Heritage Plan 2023 to 2028, and is part funded by the Heritage Council.
