A familiar message, on a gable wall, almost opposite Mercer Street.

A street off the Saintfield Road named after the general and Lord Protector. Other streets in the area are also named after generals (Templar, Dill, Alanbrooke).

A large house, at the end of Sloan Street. On the “At Risk” register which describes it as: “A rather unassuming, two-storey, red-brick townhouse, thought to date from the 1840s. It retains much of its original character and appearance, although the surroundings have undoubtedly changed beyond recognition. While being far from dereliction, the building does appear to be unused, and could benefit greatly from some timely repair”. Note: this photograph appears as a matter of record only and should not be interpreted as an expression, by me, of any criticism of the owner or his/her standards of maintenance.

Mercer Street (right to left in the foreground) and Gregg Street, in the days before Lisburn became a city (note the pre-Worboys sign “Town Centre” at middle left). This is the Co Down side of the Lagan although the postal address of Lisburn is Co Antrim.

The former “Tru-Style” furniture factory on the Saintfield Road. It closed about eight years ago and became a furniture showroom. Now occupied by a charity.
