Ballsbridge
Dublin,
Ireland
Ballsbridge (Droichead na Dothra in Irish) is a suburb of Dublin, named for the bridge spanning the River Dodder on the south side of the city in the postal district of Dublin 4. The sign on the bridge still proclaims it as "Ball's Bridge" in recognition of the fact that the original bridge in this location was built and owned by a Mr. Ball. The bulk of Dublin's embassies and many diplomatic residences are located in the southern part of Ballsbridge on and around Ailesbury Road. Ailesbury Road, along with adjacent Shrewsbury Road comprise the blue (most expensive) properties in the Dublin edition of the board-game Monopoly.
