Wellington Road (Irish: Bóthar Wellington)[2] is a road on the north-side of Cork city. Wellington Road stretches almost a kilometre from St. Patricks Place (off St. Patricks Hill), to St. Lukes Cross at the eastern end of the road.
Historically, Wellington Road was a relatively affluent residential area with some large houses. At the eastern end of the street, some of the houses were associated with the nearby Victoria Barracks.[3] In the mid 20th century, many of the area's houses were sub-divided into offices or flats - a process that was somewhat reversed by the late 20th century.[citation needed]
There are a number of housing terraces on Wellington Road, including St. Patricks Terrace, Sidney Place, Montpellier Place, and Wellesley Terrace.[4]
Cork's 96FM is located at St. Patricks Place at the western end of the road.[5] It is also home to an Eir telephone exchange, a hostel, several bed and breakfasts, and a primary school.[6][7]
Wellington Road lies in the Mayfield Garda Station policing catchment,[citation needed] and spans the St. Patrick's A, B, and C wards in the Cork North-Central constituency.[8][9]
