Wrong Way on Fumbally Lane
Located in the historic Blackpitts area of Dublin, Fumbally Lane dates
back to the 1720s when the French Huguenot family of skinners by the name of Fombella, leased land in the vicinity.

The origin of the name Fumbally owes its origins to the Fombella family who the Lane is named after. 

There has been much restoration of the area and what is a joy to see is the incorporation of the old into the new and how the two are combined.

This is the old wall of what is now called Fumbally Court.
