Adelaide train maintenance depot, Adelaide, Belfast :: J3271

Quoting from a Translink press release: “Construction work is underway in South Belfast as part of a Translink NI Railway’s project to develop a new train maintenance facility for its 20 new state-of-the-art trains.
Existing train cleaning and maintenance facilities based at York Road and the Fortwilliam area of North Belfast are currently operating at or near to full capacity. This new facility will provide engineering and workshops, a train wash, fuelling and train stabilizing facilities for the new fleet of Class 4000 trains.
The maintenance depot will be built at Translink’s Adelaide Depot off Boucher Road in South Belfast and Translink Infrastructure Executive, Clive Bradberry, says that its construction reflects a massive increase in demand for rail services”.

J3272 : Former Ulster Bank, Lisburn Road, Belfast (March 2016)

Ulster Bank, Lisburn Road opened on 27 January 1927 as an agency from Shaftesbury Square and became a full branch on 2 May 1932, the first Manager being Herbert E Henry. Apparently - the counter was 4 inches higher than normal (small customers need not apply), but that was probably demolished when the "bandit screens" appeared in branches in the early 1970's. The front door step was cut from Castlewellan granite and, if it has survived, is one of the few in the city.

The only recorded excitement was in the very early days, when an adjacent gents outfitter decided to burn some rubbish in the back yard. A conflagration occurred and the fire brigade were called, somewhat delaying the return of the staff to Shaftesbury Square.

Information from "Decades of the Ulster Bank" by William T Knox, published by Ulster Bank in 1965.
