Ulster Bank - York Road temporary premises
Temporary premises of Ulster Bank at the corner of Canning Street and York Road. Intended as a short-term replacement for the original bank, demolished to make way for the cross-Lagan rail & road link, this temporary building served for at least 10 years before being replaced in the mid-1970s by a new building off camera to the right. By the end, the temporary building had no roof (vandalism) and rain water ran down the walls, making carpets somewhat slippery. See Image
