J3373 : Bruce Street (western end), Belfast

Bruce Street (western end), Belfast

Taken from the corner of St. Andrew's Square on Hope Street. In the early 1980s the buildings that would have stood in the centre of this image were cleared to make way for this inner-city arterial route linking Sandy Row with the Dublin Road. The original course of Hope Street is visible in the image (veering to left) and on Google Maps Satellite imagery. Bruce Street, back then, only existed further west - a narrow side street off the Dublin Road - see J3373 : Bruce Street, Belfast (2).

Discussion on J3373

A visitor to the site has supplied some interesting information about former buildings in Donegall Square South (originally built by Adam McClean J3373 : Donegall Square South (part), Belfast (1981) ) – “ I have a property map showing the row of terraces in Donegall Square South. It depicts No 5 as having almost twice the street frontage of the other eight houses. It seems odd to make one larger than the others.
The map showed that Adam McClean owned the vacant ground (then known as McClean's Fields) from Alfred across to Brunswick St, and from Donegall Square South to the Blackstaff river as far as the old Dublin road. As the area was developed, the name of the purchaser of each block has been written on the lot. This seems to happen until about 1862, with the Ulster Hall being the last entry”.
Charlie Brett described Adam McClean as one of four sons of an innkeeper at Shane’s Castle. That should have been six sons.
