Disraeli Street presents an interesting example of the growth of Belfast in the late 19th century. In 1877 it had 18 houses off the Crumlin Road. In 1890 there were 51. They increased to more than 160 by 1901 when it extended south to Woodvale Street. This is the recently rebuilt western side, seen from Ohio Street close to Leopold Street Image It now turns left and no longer runs through to the Crumlin Road. For reference purposes the former Brookfield Mill Image is at top right.
