Lawnbrook Avenue, Belfast - April 2014(1)

Part of the western/south western side of Lawnbrook Avenue, close to the redeveloped area. One of the points about today’s houses is that they are noticeably lower than their Victorian counterparts.

Lawnbrook Avenue and Brookmount Street, Belfast

Lawnbrook Avenue, running from the Shankill Road to Cupar Street was a street of 102 houses built sometime between 1880 and 1890. The eastern/south eastern side has been redeveloped. Some of the other side has been redeveloped but still (April 2014) includes many of the original terrace houses – now vacant, boarded-up and partly derelict. Some of the vacant houses no longer display numbers.
Brookmount Street was built circa 1891/1900. Demolition of it and the neighbouring Glenwood Street began during September 2014. Media reports suggest that there are no immediate plans to build replacement housing.
The photographs submitted by me appear as a neutral matter of geographical and historical record only. I have no connection with any campaign for redevelopment of the streets.
