All the buildings, in this view of Victoria Street, have now vanished. Those in the background were demolished as described in Image Those in the foreground (including the building from which the photograph was taken) went under the bulldozer for the Victoria Square development Image In the days before the Westlink Image and the M3 Image, all traffic from the south to the north and north Down passed along Victoria Street (much quieter now). Finally, just below the double-deck bus, there was a security checkpoint where all vehicles and pedestrians, entering “The Segments” Image were searched. There is no equivalent in 2011. This is an approximate “then and now” Image
