Lisburn lock, disused Lagan Navigation
The Lagan Navigation was formally abandoned in 1954. Most of it is overgrown but the lock at Lisburn has been restored. It is now the starting point for short trips upstream on the River Lagan in the “Lagan Belle” Image a replica narrow boat. This is the view from the Belfast end.

Hancock Street, Lisburn
Hancock Street was named after John Hancock, a Lisburn member of the Society of Friends, who was involved in the linen trade. The original Hancock Street included a number of substantial houses but my memory of it from the early 70’s is of dereliction. This is the present street (River Lagan on the left) which shows that public sector housing can be attractive, imaginative and blend with its surroundings.

Footpath, Queen's Road, Lisburn
When the Queen’s Road section of the Lisburn throughpass was built there was an opportunity to tidy up the neglected bank of the River Lagan. This footpath and cycleway is between the road and river. The river is out of sight to the left.

The Island, Lisburn
The Island came into existence as a result of the building of the Lagan Navigation. An island was built to allow the canal to bypass the River Lagan. Initially there was a factory making vitriol for use in bleaching linen. A spinning mill was established in 1867 which continued in production until 1983. When this photograph was taken, in 1982, the site was mainly derelict. It was eventually acquired by Lisburn Council for re-development as a civic and arts centre. For the view of the re-developed site (looking in the opposite direction) see Image
