Arc of elms Image 1
In Herbert Park the tall Wheatley Elm trees stretch from one side of the road to the other forming an arc as the top branches meet. The site of the Great Irish International Exhibition 1907. Named after Sidney Herbert the Earl of Pembroke's father. Some of the original features of this lovely Edwardian park remain, but the spectacular arc is gone, felled in 1984 due to Dutch Elm disease. August 1983 Herbert Park Dublin Ireland

Pergola in Winter
The old Edwardian Pergola which once stood at the Donnybrook end of Herbert Park was a wonderful addition, but sadly fell into disrepair over many years. The heavy snow of 2010 badly damaged the beams, on the grounds of health and safety the Pergola was removed in 2012. January 1985 Herbert Park Dublin Ireland
