Mount-Regan Avenue is suburban housing, in a loop, on the western side of the Ballyregan Road Image This version of the name, using a hyphen, is on the northern side close to the Stoney Road and is used by the 1:12,000 OSNI street map. My guess is that this sign dates back to the days of Castlereagh Rural District Council. I can’t find any explanation for the name other than that “Regan” probably refers to the townland of Ballyregan. There doesn’t ever seem to have been a “big house” by the name of “Mount Regan” though there was a “Ballyregan House”. Image shows the unhyphenated version, opposite.
