The name sign on a house (vacant at the time of the photograph) at the corner of the Woodstock Road and Cregagh Street. The row seems to date from just before 1901 – a period when it was not unusual for builders to name terraces fronting main roads even when they were numbered as part of that road. This one seems to have been numbered as 425 Woodstock Road and was occupied, for more than 40 years, by an umbrella manufacturer. Who was Laurine? Possibly a relative of the builder.
