About phoenix park

The fourth Earl of Chesterfield was assigned Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in January 1745 and is credited with beginning a movement of scene works, a significant part of which was probably not completed until after his short residency, having been surveyed to London over a year later.

These included amazing replanting of the Park and furthermore planting of trees on either side of the crucial street and the erection of the Phoenix Column in 1747.

He is also credited with opening the Park to general society.

The beginning of the nineteenth century saw the Park in a much-dismissed state with poor waste, the lanes in dreadful demand, and most of the trees incredibly old or conceivably in a state of spoil.
