Ormeau Road, Belfast: A Blend of Past and Present in a Turn-of-the-Century Street Scene This evocative photograph captures the essence of Ormeau Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the early 1900s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history and charm of this iconic street. The Ormeau Road, located in County Antrim, has long been a vibrant and bustling thoroughfare in Belfast. In this photograph, we see a horse-drawn carriage making its way along the cobblestone street, while a tram, a symbol of modern transportation, glides smoothly past. The contrast between the old and the new is a testament to the city's rich history and its embrace of progress. The Ormeau Road was once the main route connecting Belfast with the surrounding countryside, and it was a popular destination for both locals and visitors. The area was known for its grand houses, elegant shops, and bustling markets. In the background of the photograph, we can see the distinctive red-brick facade of the Ormeau Baths, a historic building that served as a public bathhouse and swimming pool from 1828 to 1982. This photograph is a reminder of the past, a time when horses and trams shared the road, and when the Ormeau Road was a hub of activity and commerce in Belfast. Today, the street remains a popular destination, offering a diverse range of shops, cafes, and cultural attractions that continue to draw visitors from near and far.
