The Co-op Travel, Lisburn (May 2014)
A branch of The Co-operative Travel agency, at 4 Antrim Street, occupying what had been Thomas Cook’s “Going Places” until the merger announced in 2010. The Co-op already had a branch on the other side of the street. The estate agency (right) was previously a branch of “Jessops”.

Bow Street, Lisburn (1983)
Bow Street looking towards Antrim Street. Five points to note: Woolworth’s (left) and Easiephit (right) now names from retail history, the Abbey National (next to Easiephit) six years before demutualisation and eight before shedding its “umbrella” logo, streets were not swept on a Sunday in those far-off days and Lisburn was still but a humble town.

Bow House (part), Lisburn (May 2014)
To the best of my knowledge this building was a speculative development of the 1970’s, the offices of which have always been occupied by what was then known as “the Broo” (“Jobs and Benefits” in the 21st century). It follows the curve of Bow Street and is one of the surviving examples of the concrete panel school of architecture – see also

McCormick's - Bow Street, Lisburn - May 1976
"McCormick's" was a traditional "needle to an anchor" shop on Bow Street, Lisburn which was popular as it sold "loyalist" regalia. The exact fate of this business is now uncertain - as is the location - as Bow Street was devastated by a terrorist bomb in 1981 and substantially rebuilt.
