Harrow Street, Belfast (1)

In Image I referred to the 20th century redevelopment which obliterated some streets, truncated others and retained some in name only. Frustrating for the casual genealogist and local historian but nothing new. Harrow Street now runs from Carmel Street Image to Southview Street Image (background). It was built circa 1878/80 when it was described as running from Crecy Terrace – a name now unknown. Further a map from the early 1860’s shows this area as devoid of houses. See also Image
