Melrose Street, BELFAST, BT9 7DP

The Congregation was established in 1902. This building dates from 1924.

Built between the wars as a local telephone exchange, this building has been recently converted for use as suites of offices. The spire of St Thomas Parish Church is visible to the left.

See Image The southern side of the street includes what might be considered an example of a traditional/typical Belfast terrace. Note that the houses have porches.

Northbrook Street is a continuation of Fane Street to Great Northern Street (background). The Belfast – Dublin railway (formerly operated by the Great Northern (Ireland)) is behind the houses on the right.

Donnybrook Street runs from the Lisburn Road to Northbrook Street. It was built, over a number of years, towards the end of the 19th century but still had work in progress in 1901. Lorne Street is at bottom right and Northbrook Street Image in the background. See also Image

The inscription on this water boundary post Image beside the Tate’s Avenue bridge. The “insect” mural Image is in the background.

The bridge is a dominant feature made appear all the more so by the relatively narrow surrounding streets. This view is from the steps, leading down to street level, on the southern side.

An old post located on Tate's Avenue in Belfast (south side, under the bridge). The inscription at the top of the post reads "Water Boundary 1841". It is most probably a post indicating the limits of the newly-formed Belfast Water Commissioners (founded 1840). It is also likely that the post has been resited here from its original location - it appears to have been placed here to block vehicular access to this part of the street and is close to two similar posts - although neither of those carry inscriptions - Image & Image
