IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Marlborough Avenue, BELFAST, BT9 7HB

An old painted advert for the 'Picture Post' which was published in the UK from 1938-57 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Post . On the corner of Marlborough Avenue and the Lisburn Road in Belfast, until recently this was covered up by signage for the shop below.

Window of the restaurant 'Deane and Decano' on the corner of Marlborough Avenue and the Lisburn Road in Belfast.

A Marks & Spencer “Simply Food” shop at the corner of the Lisburn Road and Marlborough Park (left). The company has announced its intention to transfer the business to the (bigger) Co-op premises Image on the other side of the road.

Three former terrace houses, converted to shops, now with the following application (22 December 2016) for planning permission “LA04/2017/0087/F Amalgamation of 3 no ground floor retail units to create 1 no. retail unit. New shopfront and single storey rear extension. 3 no. first floor and second floor rear extensions. 527-531 Lisburn Road and 2-3 Ferndale Street Malone Lower Belfast BT9 7GQ”. I have no connection with the proposed development.

A Google Street View car turning onto the Lisburn Road from Marlborough Park in Belfast. The car appeared to be working as I had observed it driving around various streets off the Lisburn Road. It is taking updated images for Google Maps and Google Street View http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Street_View .

The last building in a terrace being demolished. The terrace is on the Lisburn Road, with the demolished building at the corner with Maryville Avenue.

Volkswagen Beetle in a small car park accessed from Marlborough Avenue on the Lisburn Road in Belfast.

A displaced drop box on the Lisburn Road end of Marlborough Park in Belfast.

Elizabeth II pillar box located outside the Co-op supermarket on the Lisburn Road in Belfast. (Update - this box is no longer at this location - it was removed when the Co-op closed Image).

The present Co-op supermarket, between Ferndale Street and Rathgar Street on the western side of the Lisburn Road. The Co is to vacate the building which will then become a branch of Marks & Spencer Image The larger NI Co-op supermarkets have been reducing in number over the last few years (Ballymena, Bangor and Carrickfergus). To a mere customer they seem dull and old-fashioned. Even the small shops Image just don’t seem to be up to the standard of Spar Image It appears that the post office Image will move elsewhere.
