The Gardens, Kingstown.
The Gardens, Kingstown.
The Gardens are known today as the People’s Park. The site was previously Glasthule Quarry and granite was quarried from here to help build the harbour in Dun Laoghaire. J.L.Robinson designed the layout for the park around a bandstand and two iron fountains. The park was officially opened in 1890. A park keeper was employed and a resident gardener up until the 1970s. One of the fountains was restored in 1985 and dedicated for the 70th anniversary of the Easter Rising. The other one was also restored in 1988. The playground, which dated from the 1950s, was redesigned in 1988.

Pavilion theatre today
Pavilion theatre today
By 1984, despite attempts to revert to the original function as a theatre, the building was closed after failing to meet fire safety standards. It was demolished. However an extensive new complex has been built on the existing site and it was opened again in 2000. The complex includes shops, restaurants and apartments as well as the theatre. The photograph shows how much this landmark has changed over the course of its history.
