Shore Crescent, Belfast (2)
Despite the name the estate is laid out on strict right-angled geometric lines – in this case a square. The view, approximately north west, across the square. The feature (left) is inscribed “Sailortown”. When Sailortown http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=45062275 was flattened in the 1960/70’s to make way for the M2 some of its residents moved here.
