Dunville Park Fountain - Dunville Park - Belfast - Fountains on Waymarking.com

A Fountain in the centre of Dunville Park, Belfast.

"Dunville Park was the first park in Belfast to be donated as a gift to the city. It was presented by Robert G Dunville to residents in 1891.

The Dunvilles were a wealthy family who were well known in Belfast in the 19th century. They were famous for their distillery, which was located on the Grosvenor Road. The distillery had a fermenting capacity of more than 500,000 gallons and it produced Dunville Irish Whiskey.
Robert G Dunville was keen to contribute to Belfast’s development and, in addition to his donation of land, he also gave £5,000 towards the laying out of the park, more than £1,000 for railings and £665 for a fountain.

Dunville Park was officially opened in 1892 by the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava."
