sold the land required to extend the Dublin and Kingstown Railway to
Killiney and ultimately Bray. Killiney beach was a popular seaside
destination for Dubliners, and John Rocque's 1757 map shows bath houses near
White Rock, on Killiney Beach. The coastline became even more popular once the
railway opened, and the opening of Victoria Park in 1887 to commemorate the British
monarch's visit and the opening of Vico Road in 1889 appear to have
increased this popularity further. Victoria Castle was also built in
honour of Queen Victoria, specifically her accession to the throne. This
is currently owned by Donegal singer Enya who has renamed
it Manderley Castle.
From 1900 until the late 1940s Killiney remained a
near-rural area, despite its proximity to Dublin city. From the early
1960s the economy began to expand and thus Dublin's reach into areas in its hinterland
like Killiney.
