J3272 : Water Boundary post, Belfast

taken 14 years ago, near to Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland

Water Boundary post, Belfast

An old post located on Tate's Avenue in Belfast (south side, under the bridge). The inscription at the top of the post reads "Water Boundary 1841". It is most probably a post indicating the limits of the newly-formed Belfast Water Commissioners (founded 1840). It is also likely that the post has been resited here from its original location - it appears to have been placed here to block vehicular access to this part of the street and is close to two similar posts - although neither of those carry inscriptions - J3272 : Old post, Belfast & J3272 : Old post, Belfast.

J3272 : Former Ulster Bank, Lisburn Road, Belfast (March 2016)

Ulster Bank, Lisburn Road opened on 27 January 1927 as an agency from Shaftesbury Square and became a full branch on 2 May 1932, the first Manager being Herbert E Henry. Apparently - the counter was 4 inches higher than normal (small customers need not apply), but that was probably demolished when the "bandit screens" appeared in branches in the early 1970's. The front door step was cut from Castlewellan granite and, if it has survived, is one of the few in the city.

The only recorded excitement was in the very early days, when an adjacent gents outfitter decided to burn some rubbish in the back yard. A conflagration occurred and the fire brigade were called, somewhat delaying the return of the staff to Shaftesbury Square.

Information from "Decades of the Ulster Bank" by William T Knox, published by Ulster Bank in 1965.
