QUEEN VICTORIA MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN 02/07/2025
The Queen Victoria Memorial Fountain in Dún Laoghaire holds a complex and often contentious place in the town's history. It was erected in 1900 to commemorate Queen Victoria's visit to Ireland, specifically disembarking at Kingstown (as Dún Laoghaire was then known). The fountain was a product of the Glasgow manufacturers Walter McFarland & Co., designed to a standardised pattern used across the British colonies.
