Murray Street, off Fisherwick Place (College Square East on the Google map), between Jury’s (left) and the grounds of Inst Image (right) seems to have been built as Murray’s Terrace between 1844 and 1851 as a mixed commercial and residential street. This building Image (1910) is in the background. The 1910 street directory records that the site had been cleared in preparation for its construction. An interesting glimpse into Edwardian Belfast is that no1 was The Standard Governess and Scholastic Agency – Miss RA Murray, teacher of music and singing.
