Mellows Bridge
Mellows Bridge ((アイルランド語:Droichead Uí Mhaoilíosa)〔(Logainm.ie - Database of Placenames' Commission )〕) is a road bridge spanning the River Liffey, in Dublin, Ireland and joining ''Queen Street'' and ''Arran Quay'' to the south quays.

In 1683,〔(Archiseek - Queen Maeve/Mellows Bridge )〕 a stone bridge called ''Arran Bridge'' or ''Arons Bridge'' was built in a location between the upstream ''Bloody Bridge'' (see Rory O'More Bridge) and the downstream ''Bridge of Dublin'' (see Fr. Mathew Bridge). Construction was funded by landowner William Ellis, and Dublin Corporation. It was named after Richard, Earl of Arran, second son of the Duke of Ormonde. From a drawing made by Francis Place in 1699, it appears to have been a four-span stone arched bridge.
It was also known as ''Bridewell Bridge''〔 due to its proximity to the Smithfield Bridewell, and as ''Ellis's Bridge'' because of its association with Sir William and Sir John Ellis.
This structure stood for 80 years, but was swept away by a flood in 1763. The collapse was described by George Semple as being an unlucky accident when a raft of timber was swiftly carried downstream in a flood where it got lodged across the middle arch. The water flow increased under the raft at this point, and since the piers of the bridge were built on top of the river bed - ''This raft of timber obstructing the current of the surface, in like manner increased the power of it at the bottom and within the space of a few hours totally demolished the bridge''.〔''The Liffey in Dublin'', J.W. de Courcy, 1996, Gill and Macmillan, Dublin, ISBN 0-7171-2423-1〕
