  • Skinner's Alley: a street in Dublin, once the site of the skinner's and tanner's trades.
  • Skinner's Alley Aldermen: a group of Protestant aldermen of Dublin dismissed by the Catholic James II. They formed a society, with a kind of government in exile, based in Skinner's Alley. After William III won the battle of the Boyne, they were restored to office. The society continued as an Orangemen's club.
