J3374 : Royal Avenue, Belfast - August 2014(4)
taken 10 years ago, near to Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland
A University of Ulster press release dated 7 March 2013, commenting on the proposed new Belfast campus at York Street Link contained the following: “This will mean around 14,000 students and 1,500 staff will occupy the building over the course of a week . . . . . The University has been working with partners in government on a Community Business Opportunities Plan which will capture these benefits for the advantage of the surrounding communities”.
The appearance of Royal Avenue and York Street and the types of businesses accommodated there (and surrounding streets) seems likely to change in line with developments as the University becomes established.
This is a collection of photographs of the area “for the record”.
