Ringsend Park, Dublin South RINGSEND PARK, DUBLIN SOUTH Figure 1 View from gate A on the west side of the park. These pathways reflect the original landscaping on this side. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY Situated between Ringsend and Irishtown, this thirteen acre site was transformed into a park from reclaimed land. A description of the proposed scheme was described in December of 1905: The formation of the proposed new park will be an important acquisition to the inhabitants of Irishtown and Ringsend, once the most over- crowded centre in Ireland, and is certain to add considerably to the value of the property in the district. The work is being undertaken by the Pembroke Urban Council, and in a week or two they will be in a position to invite tenders for the fencing in of the area, which it is proposed to convert into pleasure grounds. The site is close to the Pembroke Technical Schools at Ringsend, and consists of land which has been reclaimed through the operations of the Pembroke and Rathmines Main Drainage Board. The area of the reclaimed portion is about 31 acres, but the entire of this space will not be available as a small portion was set aside for the erection of 100 artisans dwellings. These houses have been erected and are now occupied, and with the 50 erected in another portion of the district from a splendid testimony to the energy and enterprise of the Council.1 The project had been proposed some years earlier and Lord Pembroke (later succeeded by his brother) decided to consider it as soon as the town council had the funds to create the park. As early as 1896, after the opening of the Pembroke Technical Schools, it was touted as the next public project for the area (noted as a gift of Lord Pembroke) when it would provide a convenient short cut for those in Irishtown and Sandymount wishing to attend the schools. The earl granted the land to the council in 1900 at a nominal rent of 1 shilling a year on the condition that some of the ground was used to accommodate new working class housing.2 The contract for the railing of the park was drawn up by March the following year,3 but it was not until November of 1907 that a Mr. Michael Finnegan was appointed caretaker and superintendent of the park.4 In January of 1908, the park was still described as ‘in embryo’ and the council were only then making large scale purchases of shrubs.5 By this stage, the caretaker’s house had been built and was described as ‘a picturesque little residence’, but the correspondent noted that ‘unfortunately the aspect of the new park is bleak, and the soil, if it can be called such, chiefly town debris, hence the whole thing will require some expert handling to make it a thing of beauty, as well as a comfortable recreation ground for young Ringsenders.’6 The writer also felt that the park would never and should never rival St. Stephen’s Green but rather proposed that it should be chiefly given over to football and other popular pastimes, a view which very much corresponds to the way the park was ultimately laid out and the way it is used today.7 Soon after the park by-laws were sanctioned by the Local Government Board and applications to play games were under consideration with the intention of permission being granted.8 By the following June, band promenades were taking place in the evening (7.30 to 9pm), a somewhat unusual hour for a park in a working class area.9 In August of 1909 the council granted permission for football to be played on Sundays.10 1 The Irish Times Dec 20, 1905, 5. 2 Ibid. 3 The Irish Times Mar 12, 1906, 9. 4 The Irish Times Nov 12, 1907, 8. 5 The Irish Times Jan 11, 1908, 19. 6 Ibid. 7 Ibid. 8 The Irish Times May 18, 1908, 7. 9 The Irish Times June 24, 1909, 8. 10 The Irish Times Aug 10, 1909, 3. Figure 2 View from old formal garden southwards LANDSCAPING The park is an irregular quadrilateral shape – which narrows towards the north west end - and comprises a number of different areas, many of which are given over to sporting activities. An earlier formal garden, rectangular in plan, was located on the north side of the park and was removed (in 2000 – it is still visible on OSI aerial photographs of that year) to make way for a soccer training ground. According to local residents, there were also formal beds along the approach from the west gate on the northern side. According to the present park keeper (who has worked here for 40 years), there was a fountain at the centre of the formal garden. This would match the centralised plan which can be made out from Ordnance Survey aerial photographs (see below). The focal point was a round bed – possibly with fountain, as suggested here – with four axial pathways leading to a pathway round the margins of the rectangle. However, this garden was not an original feature of the park as it does not appear on the 1930s revision of the 25i Ordnance Survey map for the area. This map shows that the earliest formal landscaping was limited to the northwest corner of the park where five pathways extended in a radial fashion from the west entrance (see gate A below). The design was somewhat half-hearted in that it petered out quite quickly. The principal features were a green on the north side (by Cambridge Road), where blocks of flats now stand, and a circular bed (with surrounding paths) linking those paths running east and northeast. The greens between these paths were dotted with deciduous trees, a feature that still defines this part of the park today. A large rectangular playing field was marked out on the south west side of the park but otherwise the area remained open ground defined only by the park railings. The east pathway was the only one that traversed the park entirely, exiting on the Pigeon House Road. The current park keeper has commented (June 2009) that there are no original features left in park and that no original benches were kept – though he never remembers there being many. The park keeper remembers that it used to be known locally as ‘Iodine Park’ because cinders were originally laid down on reclaimed land with only a thin layer of soil and people would scratch and cut themselves on the glass that protruded. Also part of the development of the park is a tapered rubble wall with large granite coping (0.92m high) on the opposite side of the external path on the east side of the park.

  • The Remarkable Ray of Dublin's Ringsend
    The Remarkable Ray of Dublin’s Ringsend Cordula Scherer Summary The common stingray was much celebrated in the fishing village of Ringsend, county Dublin, Ireland, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The village, colloquially known as “Raytown,” has a special relationship with this remarkable elasmobranch. Shared, never sold, amongst the villagers, the “towed ray” was central to their daily food supply, while also being prized for its reputed healing powers. Now gone from Dublin Bay and protected along Irish coasts, the ray remains strongly rooted in the identity of Ringsend and its local history.

Ringsend in county Dublin, Ireland, is a central part of Dublin City, iconified by the striking Poolbeg chimneys. It was once a vibrant fishing village, located on the south bank of the River Liffey and east of the River Dodder, a narrow peninsula separated from the rest of Dublin by the Dodder estuary (then much broader than in current times), yet the gateway to the capital.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
