Boundary Post, Belfast
Image: © Rossographer Taken: 28 Jun 2011
An old Belfast boundary post located on the Antrim Road, directly across the road from Image This post would have had the same inscription but the plaque bearing this has been removed. Interestingly, this gives a glimpse behind and shows that there is another (possibly earlier) inscription which reads "Parliamentary Boundary of Borough of" - the rest has been removed. A boundary post is shown at this location on OS maps dating from 1901 - it may have been this one with the earlier inscription and a plate was simply added to it when the ward boundaries were changed in 1918.
