[Urban] Development is a personal photo project that sets out to document everyday unspectacular moments in time around our villages, towns and cities across the UK for future generations. It can be fascinating to look back on old photographs from decades ago and see how things have changed - perhaps a building has been demolished or had a change of use, a housing estate has appeared, a road has been created, transportation has evolved or maybe the shop that was once there is now used by some other retail establishment. Future generations should be able to look back and see what life was like in the earlier years of the 21st century. Everyday unspectacular moments in time.

The Bradbury Place/University Road side. Partly concealed by scaffolding but the the building’s general appearance is now becoming clear. 31 October 2021.
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.
