Cooke Street, Belfast

Image: © Albert Bridge Taken: 30 Nov 2010

Cooke Street was completed before 1880 and ran from the Ormeau Road towards the Lagan (background). Today’s Sraid Cooke/Cooke Street is the redeveloped version on the same line. Cooke Mews/Eachlann Cooke is on the right. This scene was standard throughout Belfast today. Just about any street, not on a main road and not receiving direct sunlight had a coating of treacherous ice which made walking next to impossible for many.
