Pim Street, dating from 1813, is called after John Pim (of Pim & Goodbody), a prominent Dublin merchant of the time. The existing building at No. 14 Pim Street formed part of the numerous brewing industrial buildings associated with the area over the past two centuries. It has been established that a Mr Jacob Poole and his brother-in-law, Samuel Taylor, were Quakers and had brewing interests in Marrowbone Lane near the adjacent Pim Street.
Five trenches were opened for this assessment within the existing standing structure. The general stratigraphy across the site consisted of some infill of post-medieval build-up over silty deposits with water ingress generally at a depth of 1.7m. The original red brick floor was uncovered in two trenches; it was recorded and left in situ. A 0.5m-wide blackstone wall was revealed in one of the trenches at a depth of 0.6m; it did not appear to extend into adjacent trenches on either side. The wall and original brick floor remain in situ pending further investigation.
