first named: The Belfast Directory for 1887
The Marquess of Dufferin and Ava was appointed Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports with the official residence as Walmer in Kent - in 1891. A very symbolically important honour within the UK. This prestigious appointment is recognised in the naming of several streets off the Ormeau Road. A statue of Lord Dufferin and Ava was unveiled in 1906 with these words: "To the illustrious memory of Frederick Temple, the first Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, KP, 1826-1902. Governor-General of Canada, Viceroy of India, Ambassador at St Petersburg, Constantinople, Rome and Paris. HM Lieutenant of the County of Down, and Freeman of the City of Belfast. This memorial of a great Irishman is erected by his Countrymen and his many friends throughout the world."Master Builders (McCreary, A.)
