Drury street itself seems to date back as far as the early decades of the 17th Century to around the time that South Great George’s Street was laid out in 1610.

Fade Street is named after one of Dublin’s most prominent bankers in the south of the city. Mr. Joseph Francis Fade who died in 1748. His bank was at 34-36 Thomas Street back in the 18th Century, exactly where the well-known Frawley’s Department Store used to be before it closed its doors in 2007.
