Shared description
Union Street, Belfast
Union Street runs from Donegall Street to North Street. It seems to have been built around 1806/07 and, for many years, was mixed residential and commercial. The 1843 street directory shows a wide variety of residents and businesses. They included publicans, pawnbrokers, a feather merchant, a loom maker and two lodging houses. Much of the area (2013) is in need of attention and/or investment.
