Ballywalter Park, ancestral home of Lord and Lady Dunleath, which was open to the public for a food and drink event.

An old wall mounted water pump at Ballywalter Park. It appears to be broken and is constructed of wood, with an iron handle and what looks like the remains of a lead spout. It carries the inscription of one James Cameron of Belfast. Possibly this is the man listed in the 1851 and 1861 Belfast Street Directories as a "plumber, lead merchant &c." operating from premises at 47 Donegall Street & 4 North Queen Street in the city. See also Image for the inscription.

Manhole cover in the grounds of Ballywalter Park. Marked 'J.Withers' of Belfast, it may relate to one Jas Withers who was trading as a "plumber, gasfitter and bell hanger" from 33-35 Church Lane in the early 1900s Image

Country house just outside Ballywalter, it was constructed 1846-52 by Sir Charles Lanyon for the Mulholland family, the descendants of whom remain in ownership today. Surrounded by a large estate, the house saw action as a military hospital during WW1 and various military units were stationed in the outbuildings and stables during WW2. Almost abandoned and demolished in the 1950s, the house was saved by Sir John Betjeman who, on a visit to Henry, 4th Baron Dunleath, and his wife Dorinda, managed to convince them to save the house. It has now undergone extensive renovations. This is the rear view which shows the fine Gentleman's Wing on the left. Added in 1863 (designed again by Lanyon) this comprises the Billiard Room, Smoking Room and a magnificent conservatory with glass dome.
