@DaisyChainInc Isn’t this part of the street is actually nothing? Just a facade built for a royal visit. No vacant space? No possibility? Nothing… happy nothing day to ye who celebrate 🙌🏻

Comparing the entire area of our city’s alleyways to our city parks to give you an idea about how much space that really is!

Seriously the best fundraising project 🙌🏻

[BARRIE TODD @BARRIETODD]

Give it a go. Big advice for a small sum of money. No risks and no commitments. At the same time contributing to fund raising for cancer research.

A thread about Belfast 202km of alleys…

[9ftinCommon @9ftinCommon]

Want to find out how many km of alleyway we have in #belfast ? Here’s a neat thread that uncovers how far they would stretch…

[9ftinCommon @9ftinCommon]

GUESS THE LENGTH! 🤔

We’ve calculated the combined length of Belfast’s alleyways (so that you don’t have to!). Can you guess how many kilometres of alleys we have in the city? The winner gets a lovely Belfast Alley Map print 👌🏻 follow over on insta 👉🏻

@placenamesni @MartinJMagill @StreetnamesBelf @ImagineBelfast @txmmyhughes @proinsy I seem to recall hearing that Sagimor was supposed to be Sycamore, but it got lost in translation via hand writing. Same as Cyprus/Cypress? Don’t quote me on that 😬

We’ve been contacted by a few people who are dissatisfied by the current alley gate consultation. If you aren’t sure that gates are the best option or if you feel that you haven’t had a chance to discuss the options with your neighbours, please know that you can object…
