EIIR pillar box, at the corner of Mercer Street and Sloan Street (background).

EIIR pillar box, on the Hillsborough Old Road, at the corner of the Ballynahinch Road.

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 rusty drainpipe, in this entry Image, off Sloan Street. It has a fancy “C” on the down pipe which might be a foundry trademark.

An entry running from Gregg Street Mews to Sloan Street (background).

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

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.

A short street off Young Street (the name under which it appears on the Google map). In the Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan to 2015 it comes under the description “There are a number of established residential areas at the above locations in Lisburn City Centre, and the Department recognises the importance of maintaining these communities.”
