Title: Searching for a photo of Earl St School, Belfast
Post by: Kanga on Saturday 23 September 06 01:04 BST (UK)

Searching for a photo of "Earl Street National School", Earl Street, Belfast.
School no longer there after the redevelopment of the Sailortown area.

Appreciate any help with my search.

Hi Kanga:
I didn't see a pic of the school on this site but there are some of the kids who attended the school. You might want to contact the site to se if they can help you with a pic.

Hello Pat

I have tried the Sailortown website a while back.

Thanks anyway.

I recall that the Belfast City Mission had a Mission hall in Earl Street.  I recall seeing old photographs of each Mission hall years ago.  Perhaps they might have a photo of Earl Street that would include the School in it.

A bit of a longshot pehaps.

The Local History section of the Library would also be a good place to try for something like this.
