Hades in present-day Dublin

Ten literary waypoints, translated into current names without pretending that Joyce supplied a modern itinerary.

Why keep this separate? The episode’s route is a reading reconstruction. Current streets, access, transport, and cemetery practice belong to a dated orientation layer that can be corrected without rewriting the literary sequence.

Current-information boundary

Useful for bearings, not for navigation

Research and reading orientation only. Street layouts, access, traffic, works, opening hours, and cemetery rules can change; check current official information before travel.

This project has not audited present-day step-free routes, crossings, surfaces, gradients, toilets, or transport accessibility.

Geometry: Ten ordered literary control points joined by straight segments; not a surveyed road trace and not turn-by-turn navigation.

01 · Current orientation

The same order, under current names

Ten numbered current-orientation waypoints from a generalized Newbridge Avenue start to Glasnevin; stops nine and ten are visually separated even though they share one source coordinate.
Project-generated orientation diagram, not a current street map. Point positions come from the corrected Spatial release; straight connectors preserve literary order rather than road geometry. S037 is presented as a generalized literary start rather than a present-day private residence. S038 uses the L083 fallback. S045 and S046 share one source coordinate and are offset only in the drawing. Open the full-size SVG diagram.

02 · Name and place crosswalk

Ten stops, with the change made visible

Current labels do not replace 1904 names. Both travel with the same stable stop and location IDs so a correction can remain bounded.

  1. 1. Newbridge Avenue vicinity

    Then: outside fictional Dignam residence, No. 9 Newbridge Avenue

    Reading action: Bloom joins Cunningham, Power, and Simon Dedalus in the cramped carriage behind Dignam's hearse.

    Limit: No. 9 is a plausible fictional address. The public current-route layer generalizes the coordinate and does not identify a present-day private house.

    Privacy: The current layer generalizes this fictional literary start and does not identify or invite visits to a present-day private residence.

  2. 2. Newbridge Avenue, Tritonville Road, Irishtown Road and Dermot O'Hurley Avenue

    Then: Newbridge Avenue, Tritonville Road, Irishtown Road past Watery Lane

    Reading action: Bloom points Stephen out; Simon stretches across, but the turning carriage prevents father and son from meeting.

    Limit: Stephen is seen at a distance, not a carriage participant.

  3. 3. Ringsend Road/Pearse Street approaches and Grand Canal crossing

    Then: Ringsend Road past Wallace Bros bottleworks, Dodder bridge and Grand Canal bridge

    Reading action: The carriage passes the bottleworks and waterways, pausing at the Grand Canal bridge.

    Limit: Street order is firmer than the exact minute or an individual bridge pin.

  4. 4. Pearse Street past Dublin Pearse station

    Then: Great Brunswick Street past Westland Row station, Antient Concert Rooms, St Mark's and Queen's Theatre

    Reading action: Travelling west, the mourners pass the station and a dense series of theatrical, religious, and commercial landmarks.

    Limit: This correction is release-layer-only pending a separately governed canonical spatial refresh.

    See the current photograph associated with stop 4

  5. 5. D'Olier Street and O'Connell Bridge

    Then: D'Olier Street/Red Bank restaurant, Crampton memorial and O'Connell Bridge

    Reading action: The men salute Boylan outside the Red Bank; Bloom withdraws under their attention, and the cortege crosses the Liffey.

    Limit: Boylan is seen from the moving carriage, not a funeral-party participant.

    See the current photograph associated with stop 5

  6. 6. O'Connell Street Lower; Nelson's Pillar site now occupied by the Spire

    Then: Lower Sackville Street past O'Connell statue, Sir John Gray statue, Nelson's Pillar and west-side institutions

    Reading action: The cortege passes major nationalist and imperial monuments while the men tell stories of death, rescue, and debt.

    Limit: Reuben J. Dodd is seen in the street and then discussed; he is not a carriage participant.

  7. 7. Parnell Square, Blessington Street, Berkeley Road and Mater Hospital

    Then: Rutland Square hill, Blessington Street and Berkeley Road past the Mater Hospital and Eccles Street

    Reading action: As the men discuss suicide, Bloom passes the Mater and steals a look down Eccles Street toward home.

    Limit: Do not transfer the known demolition status of No. 7 Eccles Street to the whole multi-street corridor.

    See the current photograph associated with stop 7

  8. 8. Phibsborough Road, Cross Guns Bridge and Prospect Road/Finglas Road approach

    Then: Dunphy's corner, Phibsborough Road, Cross Guns Bridge over the Royal Canal, then left into Finglas Road

    Reading action: Cattle delay the cortege; it crosses the Royal Canal and turns toward the cemetery.

    Limit: Sequence is firm; the minute remains broad.

    See the current photograph associated with stop 8

  9. 9. Prospect Road/Glasnevin Cemetery approach

    Then: Finglas Road past Dennany's stonecutter's yard, Bengal Terrace and Prospect Cemetery railings

    Reading action: Memorial sculpture appears commercially before the carriage stops and the men descend.

    Limit: This stop shares a stored coordinate with S046; separate the markers visually without implying separate surveyed points.

  10. 10. Glasnevin Cemetery

    Then: Prospect Cemetery mortuary chapel, Dignam grave and cemetery paths including Parnell's grave

    Reading action: The service proceeds from chapel to grave; Bloom observes the burial and passes political and personal graves.

    Limit: This stop shares a stored coordinate with S045; separate the markers visually without implying separate surveyed points.

03 · Place photographs

Five bearings—not ten illustrations

The set is intentionally bounded. It orients the Pearse, central-city, Mater, Cross Guns, and Glasnevin legs without treating a present-day private house as Dignam’s fictional home or manufacturing a photograph for every stop.

A narrow road passes beneath two stacked iron railway arches at Dublin Pearse station. Yellow-and-black height bars mark the lower arch; cars are parked under the stone and iron structure.

Diagram and route

Corrected project Spatial coordinates and current-name crosswalk; OpenStreetMap links supply live external orientation but no tiles are embedded.

Map data from OpenStreetMap contributors. Copyright and licence.

Standard OpenStreetMap live tiles are not embedded. GeoJSON and the waypoint-only GPX retain the non-navigation flag, data vintage, fallback, and coincident-coordinate records.

Photography

Every displayed image has a retained exact hash, item source, creator/date, selected licence, required credit, alternative text, and truth role. ShareAlike applies to adapted image derivatives under each selected licence, not to unrelated prose or code.

Accessibility

The static image is supplemented by a complete HTML table and ordered prose list. Marker numbers, headings, written evidence labels, borders, and source order carry meaning without colour. There is no animation or map-only interaction.

Known limits

  • S038 is a location fallback, not a measured route-stop pin.
  • S045 and S046 are distinct narrative stops with one stored coordinate.
  • S037 is generalized as a literary start; it is not a present-day private-residence destination.
  • The Westland Row station corridor is Dublin Pearse, not Connolly.
  • The Mater/Eccles record is a corridor, not the exact No. 7 Eccles Street site.
  • The orientation diagram does not claim road geometry, distance, current safety, or step-free access.
