Albert Bridge Belfast redevelopment
Stranmillis Weir, Belfast (1)
5 June 2009. The Stranmillis Weir seen from the Annadale Embankment - limit of navigation at the time of the photograph. Tree growth prevents a similar view in 2022.
The PRONI OS map of 1900/07 shows “Sluice [implied punctuation pause] Point to which Ordinary Tides flow”.
No 1 lock is just out of picture to the left.
The weir is also used to control the Lagan on the upstream side though opened only rarely to reduce the water level.
