$infomatique > BLESSINGTON STREET BASIN Blessington Street Basin Measuring 0.75 hectares and located in the heart of Dublin\'s north inner city, and within easy walking distance of O\'Connell Street, the Basin has a long and varied history. Construction began around 1803 to provide a reservoir for the city water supply which until then was sourced from Lough Owel in Co. Westmeath. From the date of the completion of the Vartry Reservoir system in the 1860\'s Blessington Street Basin\'s water was then used exclusively to supply distilleries in Bow Street (Jamesons) and John\'s Lane (Powers) and this continued until 1970 and 1976 respectively. The Basin was completely refurbished in 1993/94 with the help of Fas and financial contributions from the National Heritage Council and ALONE. Now this quiet haven in a bustling metropolis provides a secret garden for local residents and visitors alike.$

$infomatique > BLESSINGTON STREET BASIN Stroll up beyond Parnell Square to the end of Blessington Street and you will find a little-known oasis of calm. Blessington Basin used to serve the water needs of this part of Dublin but it has recently been transformed into a small artificial lake (with the obligatory ducks and swans, of course), surrounded by pleasant landscaped seating areas. It\'s a surprisingly tranquil retreat in the often-hectic inner-city.$
