Over the years Benburb Street has certainly been through the wars. Literally.
If you stroll, jog, cycle or take the tram along its route on a fine summer's day it can seem like a lovely spot today. Most of us can be forgiven for not knowing - or simply forgetting - about the street's sordid past.
But I deal in crime fiction, and this happens to be a real street in Stoneybatter with countless real crimes.
