The original Glenrosa Street, built before 1890, was much longer and ran from Mervue Street through to Duncairn Gardens. This is the re-built version seen from Mervue Street.

Modern social housing in Lilliput Street, now a short street on the western side of North Queen Street. The original (much longer) street was built before 1880 and might take its name from a Lilliput Cottage on the nearby Limestone Road Image

A late 19th century street, running from North Queen Street (behind me) to the Antrim Road (Duncairn Street at the time of building). This tree-lined section is just past Edlingham Street. Much of the lower end has been redeveloped for commercial use.

Belfast City Mission http://www.belfastcitymission.com/, Mountcollyer Hall, at the corner of Mountcollyer Avenue (left) and North Queen Street. It seems to be of relatively-recent construction – possibly after 1960.

The former Macrory Memorial Presbyterian church, in Duncairn Gardens, opposite Edlingham Street. It seems to date from 1896 when it replaced one in Gt George’s Street. Currently vacant and with a “to let” sign. My understanding is that an application for planning permission Z/2008/1584/F Construction of a 3-storey building comprising 12no. 2 bedroom apartments with access from both Duncairn Gardens & Hillman Street [amended scheme]” was not approved. Not listed and not on the “at risk” register. Note added 25 November 2011 - there is an application for planning permission, listed under the streamlined procedure, as follows: “Z/2011/1280/F Macrory Memorial Presbyterian Church Duncairn Gardens Belfast BT15 2GN Change of use from church building to 2no hot food takeaways with alterations to front elevation”.

Self-explanatory mural at the corner of North Queen Street and the Limestone Road Image Tiger’s Bay is an area of inner-city north Belfast, between Brougham Street Image, North Queen Street and the Limestone and York Roads, which experienced considerable upheaval during the Troubles.

While many of the murals around Belfast remind us of the city's political troubles of the 20th century, this one depicts the 'great hunger', as written in English under the right-hand part of the gable. The left-hand part says the same in Gaelic.
