Annadale Grammar School

Description



Annadale Grammar School for Boys var en drengeskole beliggende på Annadale Embankment, der strækker sig langs floden Lagan i det sydlige Belfast, Nordirland. I 1990 fusionerede Annadale Grammar School med Carolan Grammar School og blev kendt som Wellington College Belfast.

Navnet "Annadale" stammer fra Anne Hill, mor til Arthur Wellesley, 1. hertug af Wellington. Wellingtons bedstefar, Arthur Hill, 1. viscount Dungannon, boede på Belvoir Estate nær Knockbreda og giftede sig med Anne Stafford i 1737. De fik 3 børn, en dreng og 2 piger. Deres ældste datter, Anne, giftede sig med Garret Wellesley, 1. jarl af Mornington og fik selv 2 sønner og en datter – Penelope Prudence, Richard og Arthur, hertug af Wellington. Den grund, som skolen blev bygget på, var oprindeligt kendt som Anna's Dale, et navn der blev nævnt i breve fra hertugen til hans mor, som nu opbevares af skolen. Skolen besidder også et oliemaleri af området, som det var på Wellingtons tid og som angiveligt viser den berømte Molly Wards Tavern; et vigtigt mødested i tiden for de Forenede Irere.
