The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of the bridge on Thomas Street to the SW of St. John's House (DU018-020062-) that is depicted on Speed's 1610 Map of Dublin City has not been identified. The bridge crosses the watercourse (DU018-020374-/0739-) which powered the medieval watermills (DU018-020226-/0096-/0230-) belonging to St. John's Priory and Hospital. The bridge was located on the N side of the present Thomas Street in the vicinity of the National College of Art and Design and the present St. John's Church.
