Hancock Street, Lisburn

Hancock Street was named after John Hancock, a Lisburn member of the Society of Friends, who was involved in the linen trade. The original Hancock Street included a number of substantial houses but my memory of it from the early 70’s is of dereliction. This is the present street (River Lagan on the left) which shows that public sector housing can be attractive, imaginative and blend with its surroundings.
