The south eastern end of an almost-circular street, in the Mount Vernon estate, off the Shore Road. The estate was built on the site of “Mount Vernon” – a house once occupied, inter alia, by Samuel Lawther DL JP (died 1913) – a former High Sheriff of Belfast. He was also involved in the Belfast and Mersey Steamship Company and Lawther and Harvey (not to be confused with Lawther and Harvey (Ireland) Limited). See also Image

Belfast trolleybus 246 at Fortwilliam turning circle ? 1968
The pile of debris in the foreground is the remains of industrial buildings which once occupied the site. The precise location is now the entrance to the small car park serving Loughside Park. The terraces of houses and the small shopping parade remain, as do the crags of Cave Hill in the background.
Trolleybus 246 was the last trolleybus built for Belfast, in 1958, and was intended to be the forerunner of a fleet of new trolleybuses. Shortly afterwards the works connected with the reconstruction of the Lagan bridge prompted a decision to convert trolleybus operation to motorbuses and it remained a unique vehicle for Belfast. It was a Sunbeam F4A with locally built Harkness body and was the only 30 foot long 2-axle trolleybus in the Belfast fleet. It is seen here on an enthusiast tour, newly repainted prior to being sold for preservation to the London Trolleybus Preservation Society. It is currently based at the East Anglia Transport Museum.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
