Templemore Avenue, BELFAST, BT5 4FQ

Built as one of four public baths in the City of Belfast during the late nineteenth century.

This building - the Corporation Public Baths - erected in 1893, and one of four in the city of Belfast, provided hot bath facilities for people who lived in houses without proper baths. The rebuilding of large tracts of residential properties in the city made these public facilities redundant. In the case of the Templemore Avenue baths the building was saved from closure in the early 1980s by a voluntary committee. A 25 yard pool is still in use and a fully equipped gym, sauna and steam room have been added. http://www.templemorebaths.org.uk/cgi-bin/greeting?instanceID=1

The church closed its doors in 2010 after 173 years of service. The red brick vestry next door was built in 1928. The two are located next to the peace wall separating them from the Catholic Short Strand area. During The Troubles, the congregation had to pass through a BA check-point to get to the church. http://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/regional/historic-church-holds-final-service-1-1849444

Cast name sign at the Templemore Avenue end of Keatley Street. The street seems to have been built around the turn of the last century helping to show when cast signs were standard.
