Title: Mayfair Street Belfast 1911
Post by: KVT on Saturday 09 July 11 17:19 BST (UK)
Does anyone have a map of this area [Clifton] from that time , or any photos of the area that they could share with me?

By the look of things it no longer exists.

Any information is great too!

The poster is looking for a map or photos.

According to this 1910 Belfast directory Mayfair St. was off Oldpark Road.

Thanks Jim,

The article on the Belfast Forum is a mine of information.

I didn't realise the street was part of an area with so much history.
