On my travels tonight and took a picture these 2 signs on their own and together

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

@DavidNevin Its a new one!

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

Going to try and drink in every city centre pub with a tiled street sign on the side. Currently in Cosgroves, and next stop the Hercules. I've done the Garick so anyone any other pubs with a tiled street sign on the side?

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

@DavidNevin One there? Im embarrassed I don't know of that one!

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

Not a street sign but a glimpse of a disused landmark and its great to see it full of life

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

@DavidNevin Has 2 as well! Been there before so I can tick it of my list

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

@DavidNevin Doh, thinking of the pub opposite!

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

@DavidNevin Not on the actual pub, the street sign is opposite the pub

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

Ps for completeness...

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

A perfect visual example of how @belfastcc treat heritage things unique to the city

May have an important announcement tonight...

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

Sad to see that the sign for Newry St has gone by being removed by builders. Why are there no protections on place for our heritage?@belfastcc

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

Then on to Castlereagh Road. First sign is a street that doesn't exist anymore. Then on up, the next Street has a tiled sign. 2 streets later is the next sign, damaged but thankfully still there. All signs BT6.

Great to see someone doing similar in Dublin and depressing to see a similar attitude regarding historical street signs by Dublin City Council

🔎Dr. Nicole Volmering (@medievalireland, @TCDHistHum) is tracking down Dublin’s historic street signs—green & white with Cló Gaelach—dating back to the early 20th century.

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

Hi folks it's been a while. A selection of tiled street signs from the mount Merrion Avenue and the last remaining Knockbreda Road sign. The first from the junction of Mount Merrion Avenue

A rediscovered street sign. Grampian Avenue off Upper Newtownards Road. On the side of Alliance offices as an advertisinghoarding has been removed; any chance @PMcReynoldsMLA @naomi_long of keeping the hoarding down?

[Belfastoldstreetsigns @Belfastsigns]

@ForwardSouthPB @PMcReynoldsMLA @naomi_long No, put a link to it please
