J3272 : Kilburn Street corner, Belfast

taken 12 years ago, near to Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland

Kilburn Street corner, Belfast
Kilburn Street corner, Belfast
Kilburn Street runs from Moltke Street to Frenchpark Street. This derelict house and shop are at the western corner of the latter. Kilburn Street had been laid out by 1901 but, by the end of WW1, it had only nine houses. Nos 1-95 had still to be built. Most of the houses remain occupied. This dereliction is an exception.
Redevelopment of The Village, Belfast :: J3273

The Village area of Belfast is due to undergo a major redevelopment starting in 2011. This is an extract from an official announcement:
“Ritchie approves £100million investment for South Belfast
Wednesday, 30 December 2009
Minister for Social Development, Margaret Ritchie MLA, has today approved proposals for the £100million investment package to regenerate housing across the Village area of South Belfast . . . . . .
As part of this investment, 538 old homes, many unfit for further occupation, will be demolished and replaced by 273 new homes, built to the latest design and environmental standards. A number of other homes across the area will also be refurbished as part of wider plans that will be delivered over the coming years. “
The photographs submitted by me appear as a matter of record only. I have no connection with the DSD or any of the other parties involved in the scheme. They should not be interpreted as having any political or campaigning motive.
