Albert Bridge Belfast redevelopment
H&J Martin's wall, Belfast
The very-long established building company H&J Martin Ltd had occupied premises at 163-165 Ormeau Road for at least a 100 years before moving to something more modern and spacious.
The yard was hidden, by walls of well-executed Victorian brickwork, to the extent that a casual stroller would not have noticed what lay behind them. The premises were eventually sold and replaced by social housing.
The inside structures were demolished in mid-2018 but the boundary walls survived a bit longer.
This was the University Avenue side on 8 July 2018.
