No 42 Cromwell Road, Belfast
Definitely in the vacant category. Slightly surprising given the constant demand in the area, for houses for renovation and conversion to multiple occupation.

The Cromwell Road, Belfast
Just off Botanic Avenue, the Cromwell Road probably marks the start of bed-sit land. There has been some redevelopment (middle right) making it a lot less grim than some of the neighbouring streets. The view is towards Westminster Street. See also

Railway, Botanic/Central, Belfast (May 2018)
The railway, from Cameron Street, between Botanic and Central, as a train heads towards the latter. I have a vague memory, from the 1950’s, of looking over the wall, from Vernon Street (background), as a steam-hauled goods passed. Don’t know though whether it was the GNRB or the UTA.
