Cavehill Road from the Waterworks: A Glimpse into Belfast's Past This evocative photograph captures a breathtaking view of Cavehill Road from the Waterworks in Belfast, Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history and charm of this vibrant city. To the left, the iconic Waterworks Tower dominates the scene, its imposing structure a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The water tower, built in 1883, was essential for supplying clean water to the growing population of Belfast. Its presence here, overlooking the city, has become a symbol of progress and resilience. In the distance, the distinctive silhouette of Cavehill rises majestically, its craggy cliffs a stark contrast against the clear blue sky. This ancient volcanic formation has long been a source of inspiration for local folklore and legends. The name 'Cavehill' is said to derive from the Irish 'Cabhán Feidhlimh' or 'Feidhlimidh's cave,' named after a legendary Irish chieftain. To the right, the winding Cavehill Road leads away from the Waterworks, disappearing into the distance. This historic road, which dates back to the 18th century, connects Belfast with the Cavehill area and beyond. Its twists and turns have been a challenge for generations of drivers, but also a source of adventure and discovery. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of Belfast's rich history and the natural beauty that surrounds it. The Waterworks, Cavehill, and Cavehill Road have all played crucial roles in shaping the city's past and present, and continue to be cherished landmarks for locals and visitors alike.
